complete the sentence with the phrase that means about the same as are eligible.
teens age 13 and up to enter the scholastic art & writing awards every year.

Explanation:

To solve this, we first understand the meaning of "eligible", which means having the right or qualification to do something. A common phrase with a similar meaning is "are qualified". So we need to find the option (even though the dropdown options aren't shown, the logical phrase is "are qualified" or a similar phrase like "are allowed" or "are permitted" that conveys the right to enter). Since the task is to complete the sentence with a phrase meaning the same as "are eligible", the appropriate phrase would be one that indicates the teens have the right to enter, like "are qualified" (or other similar phrases depending on dropdown options, but the core meaning is about being qualified/allowed to enter).

The word "eligible" means having the right or qualification to do something. So a phrase with a similar meaning (like "are qualified", "are allowed", etc.) that fits the context of being able to enter the awards should be used. Assuming the dropdown has a phrase like "are qualified" (or equivalent), that's the correct choice.

Answer:

Teens age 13 and up \boxed{are qualified} to enter the Scholastic Art \& Writing Awards every year. (Note: The actual phrase may vary based on dropdown options, but the key is a phrase meaning "eligible", e.g., "are qualified", "are permitted", "are allowed" etc.)
