Question

feel her excitement intensify. she could barely keep her mind on her schoolwork. by the time the dismissal bell rang, she felt like she might burst! she could hardly wait to meet all the animals she would be helping. the word ending -ify means \to cause to become a certain way.\ using yo plete the sentence with a phrase that means th help her focus get even stronger change to nervousness proached, emma could feel her excitement become quite painful

Explanation:

The word ending “-ify” means “to cause to become a certain way”. The sentence context is about Emma's excitement as something approaches. We analyze each option:

• “help her focus” doesn't relate to excitement's change.
• “get even stronger” fits because excitement intensifying (becoming stronger) matches “-ify” meaning (causing to become more intense/stronger).
• “change to nervousness” changes the emotion, not just intensify excitement.
• “become quite painful” is irrelevant to excitement's nature.

Answer:

get even stronger
