It's very badly explained but I think I've worked it out.

I think that the first thing you have to do is find a word which fits the definition for the first 6. For example "meet and spend time with people in order to enjoy yourself" = "socialise". Then you look for a sentence where a variation of the word "socialise" is missing. That would be sentence 3, giving you:

If you have trouble socialising at parties, prepare some topics for small talk.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****


Taking a cue from esmr's excellent explanation, then maybe (maybe!) No. 6

could be something like:

The Constitution prohibits discriminating against people because of race, gender, or religion.

I think you should try first. I think it might be easier if you do it backwards. Look at the sentences with the missing words first and find a word that you think fits in the gap.

Then look at the definitions and see if you can find a definition that fits the word!
