1 threat: "Threat" is the best choice here. A "threat" is a "menace" or a "danger": something or someone which puts you at risk or in danger. In the letter, Kyle Krabb writes that "the quantities of poison consumed by your son were too small to pose a threat to his life". "To pose (something)" is to create a threat/problem/danger/risk/challenge that needs to be dealt with. Example: Everest poses a challenge to even the best climbers.
2 broke in: "Broke in" is the best choice here. "To break in (to a house)" is to enter without invitation and illegally. This is usually to commit theft, a robbery, or a burglary. The simple past tense is needed here because the event happened "last weekend" Example: "It is almost impossible to break in to Buckingham Palace". Note that this verb is irregular: break in/broke in/broken in.
3 apologize: "Apologize" is the best choice here. "To apologize" is "to say sorry". Example: "He apologized for what he did, but it sounded like he was lying". Note that the UK spelling of this term is different: "to apologise".

1 unmarried: This is the right choice. "Single" in this context means "unmarried". Example: "I'm 46 years old, I'm still single, and I'm very jealous of all my married friends".
1 famous: This is incorrect. A well-known person or a celebrity is "famous". They are very rarely single, even when they are very ugly!
1 engaged: This is incorrect. To be "engaged" means to be to soon be married, to be someone's fiancé or fiancée. You are not "single" if you are "engaged" (even if you are very drunk!)
2 assertion: This is correct. An "assertion" means the same thing as a "claim", or "a statement of something which you believe". Example: "Philip claims to have slept with over 600 women, but we don't believe him".
2 complaint: Incorrect. A complaint is what you make when you are unhappy about something, for example, the service provided by a company.
2 proof: This is not the right choice. "Proof" is evidence of something. A scientists need proof of a theory before they can show it to be correct. The verb is "to prove".
3 danger: This is correct. The terms "threat" and "danger" share a similar meaning, and are used to refer to a "menace" or "bad event in the future". To "pose a threat" is to "present a danger". Example: "Global warming poses a serious threat to the planet Earth".
3 illness: This is not the right answer. An "illness" is a "sickness" of the body or mind. It is not synonymous with "threat".
3 handicap: This is not the right answer. A "handicap" is a "disability" or an "inability to do something", which does not share a similar meaning with "threat".
4 release: This is correct. A "release" in this context means the same as an "outlet" - an "exit" or a "way of letting something out". Here's another example: "My paintings provide me with an outlet for my creativity, and prevent me from going insane".
4 home: This is the wrong answer. Home is where you live: it is your "house", "bungalow", "apartment", etc. This does not share a similar meaning with "outlet".
4 cure: This is not the right answer. A "cure" is something that makes an illness or disease better. It does not mean the same as "outlet".
