this is a required question

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the meaning of "meticulous" in the context, we analyze the sentence: Shannon is a meticulous cleaner and her house is spotless. "Wander around at random" is irrelevant. "Not able to think clearly" does not relate to cleaning. "To show great attention to detail" fits as a meticulous cleaner would pay close attention to detail to keep the house spotless.

For "thwart" in the sentence, Jonas sets up a security system to stop outsiders from intruding. "Attempting to avoid notice" is about stealth, not security's purpose. "To praise highly" is unrelated. "To prevent (someone) from accomplishing something" matches as the security system is to prevent outsiders from intruding (accomplishing their intrusion).

Answer:

C. To show great attention to detail
