Explanation:

Question 26

The sentence contrasts Emily (an extrovert) with Emma, who prefers being alone. "Introvert" refers to a person who is more inward - focused and prefers solitude, which fits the context.

The phone calls are from a suspicious number, so we need a word with a negative connotation. "Malicious" means intended to cause harm, which is appropriate for describing such phone calls.

The sentence is about two chemicals and an explosion. "Combination" refers to the act of putting things together, and the combination of the two chemicals can cause an explosion, which makes sense.

Answer:

introvert
