The correct spelling is 'Allocation', derived from 'allocate'. It ends in '-tion'. Distractors use '-sion' or '-son', which are common spelling errors for this suffix.

The correct spelling is 'Infatuation', which refers to an intense but short-lived passion. The other options are incorrect phonetic spellings using 'c', 'n', or 'k'.

This sentence uses the correlative conjunction pattern 'so...hardly' to draw a parallel between two situations. Just as you would hardly see a cat walking with its master, so you would hardly see a teenager with their parents. The word 'so' in the first clause sets up this comparison, making option A correct. Options B 'and', C 'both', and D 'neither' don't correctly establish this correlative relationship.

The correlative conjunction 'neither... nor' is used to connect two negative subjects. Since the sentence describes something that both groups fail to do (turning their heads), 'nor' is the correct partner for 'neither' in the second blank.

The word 'neither' is used to start a clause that agrees with a previous negative statement ('hardly ever' is negative). It triggers subject-verb inversion ('would you'), which is present in the sentence.

In negative sentences, 'either' is used at the end to show that a second thing is also true. 'Neither' would be used at the start of a clause (e.g., 'Neither does a teenager'), making 'either' the correct choice for the end of the sentence.

The word 'so' is used to show agreement with a positive statement. 'So do teenagers' is a standard short addition meaning 'teenagers also expect you to prepare food'. 'As' or 'and' would require different sentence structures.

The correlative conjunction 'neither... nor' is used to join two negative ideas. The sentence implies that neither the cat nor the teen will laugh. 'Nor' (488051) is the correct partner for 'neither' (which would be in the first blank).

The correlative conjunction 'both... and' is used to join two subjects that perform the same action. Since both cats and teenagers get frightened, 'both' (488054) and 'and' (488055) are required to complete the sentence correctly.
