The word "unkempt" means not properly maintained or untidy. This fits with the description "maintained poorly; untidy." The other options, sullen, eminent, and decry, do not have the same meaning as unkempt and do not match the given description. Therefore, the correct answer is unkempt.

The word "successor" means one who inherits, will inherit, or is next-in-line for a position or title. In the given options, "unkempt" and "sullen" do not have any relation to the concept of inheritance or being next-in-line. "Harass" also does not fit the context. Therefore, the correct answer is "successor".

The given answer, False, is correct because the statement "an atmosphere or setting → unkempt" is not true. The word "unkempt" means messy or untidy, while the word "atmosphere" refers to the overall feeling or mood of a place. These two words are not directly related, and an unkempt atmosphere or setting is not a universally accepted concept. Therefore, the statement is false.

The correct answer is "debris". Debris refers to scattered remains or rubble, which aligns with the given description. The other options, such as refuse, decry, and crux, do not accurately describe scattered remains or rubble. Therefore, debris is the most suitable choice.

Decry means to condemn or disapprove openly. This word suggests a strong disapproval or criticism of something. It implies publicly expressing a negative opinion or judgment about a person, action, or idea. The other options, crux, tinge, and debris, do not carry the same meaning as decry and are not synonymous with openly condemning or disapproving.

The given statement defines the word "trivial" as meaning "of little importance." This explanation is correct because "trivial" is commonly used to describe something that is insignificant or not significant enough to be considered important. Therefore, the statement is true.

The word "articulate" can be used as both an adjective and a verb. As an adjective, it means being well spoken and clear in communication. As a verb, it means to speak clearly and distinctly. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is that "articulate" is an adjective that means well spoken and clear, and also a verb that means to speak clearly and distinctly.
