Read the following text and answer the questions that follow. The words in bold are your vocabulary words. Make sure you learn them.
In a small town, all of a sudden, the position of every resident became very challenging. The town's main road was blocked by a fallen tree, causing a massive rush of cars and pedestrians. There was an apparent sense of panic in the air.

Mara, an indoors girl, usually stayed away from such chaos. She was right behind her window when she saw the commotion. She couldn't help but remark, "This has made the town's situation get worse."

Her brother, Alex, who aspired to rule the town one day, had a different perspective. Holding a textbook that showed a human organ, he mused, "Sometimes it's events like these that show us how important good governance is. How every part of a community, like every organ in our body, needs proper care and attention."

Mara rolled her eyes. "Not the time for your political judgment, Alex." Just then, a delivery van managed to find an alternate route. The driver was in such a rush that he nearly forgot his main delivery—a package for Mara.

"Today's events certainly make a case for my future leadership," Alex chuckled, his ambitions clear in his eyes.
