Correct Answer: Jake borrows Leslie's camera and the lens shatters when it falls on the ground because he fails to zipper the case.When Jake returns the camera, he tells Leslie that he will pay for the repair.
Explanation:
Jake damaged Leslie's camera while it was in his possession and he has agreed to compensate Leslie for the cost of the repair.
Correct Answer: Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.
Explanation:
Although choices a and c both describe suspensions, only choice c describes a suspension that is the result of one of the two scenarios given in the definition of a five-day suspension (physical assault or destructing or defacing school property). Therefore, we can assume that Franny's suspension, which is the result of spray painting school property, will be a five-day suspension. Since the definition doesn't provide any information about suspensions for cheating, we can assume that Lillian's suspension does not fall into the five-day suspension category.
Correct Answer: The Sharks and the Bears each finished with 14 points, and they are now battling it out in a five-minute overtime.

This is the only choice that indicates that an additional period of play is taking place to determine the winner of a game that ended in a tie.

Explanation:
Jeffrey's recent behavior is clearly inconsistent and irregular.
Correct Answer: Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.
Explanation:
The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner. Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.

Explanation:
The realtor is using a clear exaggeration when she states that a house which is eleven blocks away from the ocean is prime waterfront property.
