2 ______ that he must spend almost as many hours in the gym as in the library.
The second he began to 3 ______, Becky was captivated by Dobson’s
energy, and within moments he had everyone in the auditorium sitting on the edge
of their seats. Students began furiously writing 4 ______ his every word.
