Analyzing question structure

The user has a set of questions where they need to fill in the blanks. The text is about students, particularly mature ones, and their hardworking qualities.

I'll go through the text carefully, as the answers need to match the context of each blank. For example, blank (1) could be describing mature students. I’ll explore possible words that fit logically for things like being "hardworking," and implications around their time management ("mortgage, job, children"). I’ll need to focus on the overall tone and the choices for each blank.

Filling in the blanks

For filling in the blanks, first, the word for (1): "mature students are ___ students" really calls for a word like "ideal" because it's about their drive and dedication. "Ideal" fits perfectly here, so I’ll go with (B).

Next, for (2), "become actively ___ in all aspects of the learning process," the only natural fit seems like "involved," so (C) it is for this one.

Finally, for (3), "they ___ to do exceptionally well," I’m leaning toward "succeed" for this, so I'll mark (B). Seems to fit the context.

Filling in the blanks smoothly

For (3), "They manage to do exceptionally well" fits best — "manage" is the verb we need here, so the answer is C.

For (4), the phrase "Although many of them have..." sounds correct. "Although" introduces the appropriate clause, so the answer is A.

For (5), "raise children" is the obvious choice, so D is the answer.

(6) is easy – "hand in essays" is a common phrase, so A fits here.

For (7), "achieve excellent results" is the right phrase, so answer B.

For (8), "experienced many of life's pleasures" sounds most natural, so B fits again.
