Explanation:

1. This seems to be a cause and effect sentence. First, Alicia gets promoted. As a result of this, she jumps with happiness.

2. Dismay and shock are very similar in meaning. When somenone is shocked, he/she is surprised as well as upset. When someone appears dismayed, it means distredd by something unexpected.

3. The sentence gives a definition of what paleontologists do. They study fossils to get to know species of the past and to relate them to the ones in the present.

4. In this example, the person mentions she feels enervated (lacking energy), and then he/she mentions he/she went for a swimming to get more energy. The word "enervated" and "gave me energy" shows the contrast. Although she was lacking vitality, she swam in the pool all the same.

5. In these sentences, the person is explaining what an excursion is. He/she went on a journey to Washington DC and visited famous palces that tourists usually visit in that city.

6. Deliriously mean great exccitement or emotion. The word that best relates to it is joyfully (with great happiness).

7. Dismay means surprise and upset. The words that best relates to this meaning would be saddened.

8. Paleontologists are people who study fossils, which are the remains of the past.

9. Enervated means lacking vitality, with no energy. Exhausted would be the best choice.

10.  Excursion means a short trip especially for leisure. The word journey would be the best choice.
