the person plans to solve his or her problem.
the person feels rejected in love.
the person needs to get out of danger.
the person feels very sad and depressed.

Explanation:

First Question (Footsteps)

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the meaning of "leaden" footsteps. "Leaden" implies heavy and slow, so we evaluate each option:

• "Sharp and metallic" doesn't relate to leaden.
• "Increasingly louder" is about volume change, not the nature of leaden steps.
• "Slow and heavy" matches the meaning of leaden.
• "Quick and light" is the opposite of leaden.

We analyze the meaning of "dejected," which means sad and depressed. Now we check each option:

• "Plans to solve problem" doesn't relate to dejection.
• "Feels rejected in love" is a specific cause, not the definition of dejected.
• "Needs to get out of danger" is unrelated to dejection.
• "Feels very sad and depressed" matches the definition of dejected.

Answer:

The footsteps sound slow and heavy.
