Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. A

2. C

Explanation:

To compel means to force someone or something. In this context, we can see that if a baby is ‘in need’ of something, his/her mind compels (urges/forces/encourages)  her/him  to cry in order to get someone’s attention and take care of those needs; a dirty diaper, stomachache, hunger, etc… So this is why we infer that “in need” provides the best support for the word "urge" in this context.

As it is used in this paragraph, the word “compels” most nearly means:

  • A. Urges
  • C. C. "in need"
