    Explanation
    The word "coquettishly" means to behave in a flirtatious or teasing manner. It suggests that the person is playfully trying to attract attention or gain affection from someone. In the context of the given options, "coquettishly" is the only word that relates to flirting, making it the correct answer. It is important to note that the word is spelled as "coquettishly" and not "coqquetishly" as mentioned in the question.

  • 5. 

    To examine carefully

    • Ludicrous

    • Scrutinize

    • Flippancy

    • Anguished

    Correct Answer
    A. Scrutinize
    Explanation
    The word "scrutinize" means to examine or inspect something carefully and thoroughly. It implies a close and detailed analysis of the subject at hand. In this context, "scrutinize" is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the given phrase "to examine carefully". "Ludicrous" means ridiculous or absurd, which does not fit the context. "Flippancy" refers to a lack of seriousness or disrespect, which is unrelated to the given phrase. "Anguished" means experiencing severe mental or physical pain, which is also unrelated. Therefore, "scrutinize" is the correct answer.

    • Plunder

    • Epitaph

    • Mirage

    • Despise

    Correct Answer
    A. Mirage
    Explanation
    A mirage is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions, where distant objects appear to be shimmering or displaced. It creates the illusion of something that seems real but is not actually there. In this context, a mirage can be seen as something that appears to be true or tangible, but is actually deceptive or illusory.

    Showing great suffering

    • Reverie

    • Anguished

    • Wrought

    • Ominous

    Correct Answer
    A. Anguished
    Explanation
    Anguished means experiencing or expressing severe mental or physical pain or suffering. It is the most suitable word that describes "showing great suffering" among the given options. Reverie means a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts or daydreaming, which does not convey the idea of suffering. Wrought means having been shaped or formed with great effort or skill, which is unrelated to suffering. Ominous means giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen, which is also not synonymous with showing great suffering. Therefore, Anguished is the correct answer.

    Explanation
    Retardation refers to the act or process of slowing down or delaying something. It can also refer to a decrease in the rate or speed of something. In this context, the word "retardation" is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the given phrase "A slowing down."

    A. Futile
    Explanation
    Futile means ineffective or pointless. It suggests that something is incapable of producing any useful result or outcome. In this context, it can be inferred that the word "useless" is synonymous with "futile." Both words convey the idea of something being without purpose or unable to achieve a desired outcome.

    Explanation
    Beseechingly means in a pleading or begging manner, often used to express a strong desire or request. This word conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, suggesting that the person is making a heartfelt plea or appeal. It implies that the person is seeking help, support, or understanding from someone else. The other options, futile, disheveled, and flippancy, do not convey the same meaning or tone as beseechingly.

In this context, the word "plunder" perfectly fits the given phrase "to rob by force." It accurately conveys the act of forcefully taking something from someone, making it the correct answer.
