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    America  for  their  immigrant  families  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 conveys a strong sense of dedication and intensity in the context of the sentence.

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

Wrong options:

  • practical: 'Practical' is an adjective that describes something useful or sensible, which does not fit as it does not describe the manner of working.
  • moving: 'Moving' is an adjective that refers to something that causes emotion or change, which does not appropriately describe the action of working in this context.
  • outragious: 'Outragious' is a misspelling of 'outrageous,' which means shocking or extreme, and does not fit the context of describing how one works.
  • demographic: 'Demographic' is a noun that refers to a statistical data of a population, which does not fit as it does not describe the manner of working.
  • translating: 'Translating' is a verb that does not relate to the manner of working and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • audacious: 'Audacious' is an adjective that describes boldness or daring, which does not fit as it does not describe the manner of working.
Correct answer: demographic

Explanation: The noun '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 it serves as the subject complement following 'are.'

Meaning: 'Demographic' refers to statistical characteristics of a population, such as age, race, or gender.

Wrong options:

  • practical: 'Practical' is an adjective that describes something useful or sensible, which does not fit as it does not refer to a population segment.
  • moving: 'Moving' is an adjective that refers to something that causes emotion or change, which does not fit in the context of describing a population.
  • outragious: 'Outragious' is a misspelling of 'outrageous,' which means shocking or extreme, and does not fit as it does not describe a population segment.
  • obsessively: 'Obsessively' is an adverb that describes the manner of working, not a population segment, and thus does not fit here.
  • translating: 'Translating' is a verb that does not relate to a population segment and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • audacious: 'Audacious' is an adjective that describes boldness or daring, which does not fit as it does not describe a population segment.
Correct answer: translating

Explanation: The verb 'translating' fits grammatically as it describes the action performed by the youth in relation to their immigrant families. It conveys the idea of converting language or meaning, which is contextually relevant to the role of youth in bridging communication.

Meaning: 'Translating' means to convert spoken or written words from one language to another.

Wrong options:

  • practical: 'Practical' is an adjective that describes something useful or sensible, which does not fit as it does not describe an action.
  • moving: 'Moving' is an adjective that refers to something that causes emotion or change, which does not fit in the context of describing an action.
  • outragious: 'Outragious' is a misspelling of 'outrageous,' which means shocking or extreme, and does not fit as it does not describe an action.
  • demographic: 'Demographic' is a noun that refers to a statistical data of a population, which does not fit as it does not describe an action.
  • obsessively: 'Obsessively' is an adverb that describes the manner of working, not an action related to translating, and thus does not fit here.
  • audacious: 'Audacious' is an adjective that describes boldness or daring, which does not fit as it does not describe an action.
Correct answer: audacious

Explanation: The adjective 'audacious' describes the type of change being led by the youth, indicating that it is bold and daring. It fits grammatically as it modifies the noun 'change' and aligns with the context of the sentence, which emphasizes the proactive role of the youth.

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