Much  has  been  said  of  the  Latino  vote  in  this  election,  which  is  something  I  know  a  little  bit  about,  having  been  working    over  it  for  the  last  16  years.  Latinos  are  the  fastest-growing  ,  with  the  largest  voter  registration  cap  in  America.  A  Latino  youth  turns  18  every  30  seconds.  While  the  mode  for  whites  in  America  is  58,  the  mode  for  Latinx  is  11  years  old.  You  heard  that  right.  And  it's  these  new  voters  and  the  youth  who  are  translating  America  for  their  immigrant    who  are  leading  the  charge  for    change.

Correct answer: obsessively

Explanation: The adverb 'obsessively' describes the manner in which the speaker has been working over the Latino vote. It fits grammatically as it modifies the verb 'working' and aligns with the context of intense dedication over a long period.

Meaning: 'Obsessively' means to do something with an excessive preoccupation or focus.

Wrong options:

  • frustratedly: Frustratedly is an adverb that indicates a feeling of frustration, which does not accurately describe the speaker's dedication to their work.
  • demonstration: Demonstration is a noun that refers to an act of showing or proving something, which does not fit grammatically as it cannot modify 'working.'
  • families: Families is a plural noun that does not fit as it does not describe the manner of working.
  • Sitting: Sitting is a gerund that does not convey the intensity of the action and does not fit grammatically in this context.
Correct answer: demographic

Explanation: The term 'demographic' refers to a specific segment of the population, which is appropriate here as it describes the Latino population in the context of voting. It fits grammatically as a noun and aligns with the context of discussing voter registration.

Meaning: 'Demographic' refers to a particular group of people, often defined by characteristics such as age, race, or ethnicity.

Wrong options:

  • obsessively: Obsessively is an adverb that does not fit as it does not describe a group of people.
  • frustratedly: Frustratedly is an adverb that does not relate to a population segment and does not fit grammatically.
  • families: Families is a plural noun that does not describe a population segment and does not fit in this context.
  • demonstration: Demonstration is a noun that refers to an act of showing something, which does not fit as it does not describe a group of people.
  • audacious: Audacious is an adjective that describes boldness and does not fit as it does not refer to a group.
Correct answer: families

Explanation: The word 'families' serves as a plural noun that refers to the immigrant families of the Latino youth. It fits grammatically as the object of the preposition 'for' and aligns with the context of discussing the influence of youth on their families.

Meaning: 'Families' refers to groups of individuals related by blood or marriage, in this case, immigrant families.

Wrong options:

  • demographic: Demographic is a noun that refers to a segment of the population and does not fit as it does not refer to people in a familial context.
  • obsessively: Obsessively is an adverb that does not fit as it does not refer to a group of people.
  • frustratedly: Frustratedly is an adverb that does not relate to families and does not fit grammatically.
  • demonstration: Demonstration is a noun that refers to an act of showing something, which does not fit as it does not refer to people.
Correct answer: audacious

Explanation: The term 'audacious' is an adjective that describes the type of change being led by the youth. It fits grammatically as it modifies the noun 'change' and aligns with the context of bold and daring transformations.

Meaning: 'Audacious' means showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks.

Wrong options:

  • demographic: Demographic is a noun that does not fit as it does not describe the nature of change.
  • families: Families is a plural noun that does not describe the type of change and does not fit grammatically.
  • obsessively: Obsessively is an adverb that does not fit as it does not describe a type of change.
  • frustratedly: Frustratedly is an adverb that does not relate to the nature of change and does not fit grammatically.
