Hello Nsijsi,
I'll admit this is a pretty confusing excerpt and question, but let's try to work it out. The title of the piece is "An Invisible Thread." Let's think about what that means. A thread can be tied to many things and can connect a series of events and outcomes. With that in mind, read the excerpt and think about how that applies to the story; particualrly, how it applies to the woman with change and the man asking for it. Look for causes and effects in the text. Here are a few:
Action: Man asks for change
Outcome: Woman walks away, ignoring him
Action: Woman changes her mind and turns around while in the middle of the street
Outcome: Woman almost gets hit by a car
etc...
What do these causes and effects show? (Particularly about a thread of consecutive events)?

This question is missing the paragraph we must read to answer it. I've found it online, and it is as follows:
Levine and Kearney see the study as a clear lesson in the value of a (very cheap) mass-media complement to preschool. The potentially controversial implication they embrace from the study isn't about childhood education. It's about college, and the trend toward low-cost massive open online courses, or MOOCs.
Answer:
The word that gives the best definition for complete as it is used in paragraph 11 of "Study: Kids can learn as much from 'Sesame Street' as from preschool?" is:
B. to complete or make whole.
Explanation:
The verb "to complement" can refer to the action of completing something or to the action of enhancing something. After reading the paragraph, it is clear the author is talking of the possibility of completing education as we know it. Using mass media is a cheap way to give thousands of people access to education, complementing or completing what is already commonly offered. Having that in mind, the best option to answer this question is letter B. to complete or to make whole.
