1. Jason ______________ his arm during the football game.

Think: What happens to an arm in a sports injury? “Dislocated” means a bone is out of place — common in sports.
→ Dislocated

2. The ______________ had a big birthday party celebration.

Think: Who would have a big birthday party? Maybe someone with a special number of birthdays? “Triplets” are three babies born at once — they might share a birthday party!
→ Triplets

*(Note: Could also be “Centennial” for 100th, but #4 uses that. So triplets fit here as a fun group birthday.)*

8. Mark’s ______________ was that he could not decide what college to attend in the fall.

→ Dilemma

---

9. The project pays out ______________, so checks are sent out every two weeks.

Think: Every two weeks = bimonthly (bi = two, monthly = month → every two months? Wait — actually, “bimonthly” can mean every two weeks OR twice a month. But in payroll context, “every two weeks” is often called biweekly — but since “biweekly” isn’t in the box, and “bimonthly” is, we’ll use it. Note: This is a bit tricky — technically “bimonthly” usually means every two months, but sometimes used loosely. However, looking at the root “bi-” meaning two, and “monthly”, it’s the closest match. Also, “triplets” doesn’t fit here. So we go with bimonthly as intended by the worksheet.)

Actually — wait! Let’s double-check: The sentence says “checks are sent out every two weeks.” That’s more accurately “biweekly,” but since “biweekly” isn’t in the word box, and “bimonthly” is the only one with “bi-”, and the worksheet likely intends it to mean “every two weeks” in this context (even though it’s not precise), we’ll go with Bimonthly.

But hold on — maybe I made a mistake. Let’s look again at the word list:

Words left after others: Only “Bimonthly” and “Triplets” were possibly unused — but we used “Triplets” in #2. Actually, let’s reassign if needed.

Wait — perhaps #2 should be something else? No, “Triplets” having a birthday party makes sense. And #9 must be “Bimonthly” even if it’s not perfectly accurate — because it’s the only word with “bi-” meaning two, and the clue is “every two weeks”.

Alternatively — maybe the worksheet meant “biweekly” but wrote “bimonthly”? Or perhaps in some contexts “bimonthly” is used for every two weeks? It’s ambiguous, but given the options, Bimonthly is the only possible fit.

So we’ll go with that.

→ Bimonthly
