1. The correct word to complete the first sentence is D. simultaneously. So, the sentence reads, "As state and federal governments work simultaneously to create the best possible lives for our citizens, there is bound to be some disagreement."
2. The correct word to complete the second sentence is A. anticipate. So, the sentence reads, "The new cell phones were so popular the company was unable to anticipate their enormous sales on the first day."
Extra: The context of the first sentence suggests that state and federal governments are working at the same time with common goals, which is why "simultaneously" is the appropriate choice.
