PLEASE HELP thank you Tommy’s dad wants to put a new in-ground pool in the back yard so that he and his friends can have a safe place to swim this summer. However, the city will not issue a permit because private pools are not allowed in his neighborhood. What does Tommy’s dad need to ask for when he goes before the local board?

An adjustment

An ordinance

A variance

An alignment

I think its an ordinance or variance.

Explanation:

answer; proximity;

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
