To figure out the correct answer to each question, let's break down the options and their usage of the given words.

1. The word in question is "utter." It means to speak or express audibly.

A. The sentence "The seals utter past crabs and seaweed" is not used correctly because "utter" is not the appropriate verb to describe seals moving past crabs and seaweed.
B. The sentence "The seals will not utter minnow feed" is not used correctly because "utter" suggests speaking or making sounds, not refusing to eat something.
C. The sentence "The playful seals utter cries of delight" is used correctly. This choice correctly describes seals making audible sounds of delight.
D. The sentence "The stingray and the shark utter the seal" is not used correctly because the word "utter" is used incorrectly here. The sentence lacks coherence and doesn't accurately depict the intended action.

Therefore, the correct sentence is C. The playful seals utter cries of delight.

2. The word in question is "swerve." It refers to a sudden or sharp change in direction.

A. The events "a snowstorm and cloudburst" do not make a swerve because they describe weather conditions, not a change in direction.
B. The objects "a roller skate and seal" can make a swerve if a roller skate suddenly changes direction or a seal changes its path abruptly. This choice correctly associates the concept of swerving with the roller skate and seal.
C. The events "a rainstorm and bicyclist" do not make a swerve because a rainstorm is a weather condition, and a bicyclist may change direction but does not necessarily make a swerve.
D. The objects "a seal and dill pickle" do not make a swerve because a seal and a dill pickle do not have the ability to change direction sharply.

Therefore, the correct option is B. A roller skate and seal can be said to make a swerve.
