    An ogre is defined as a brute, a large monster, or a frightful giant. This means that an ogre is a creature that is typically depicted as being extremely large, powerful, and often terrifying. The other options, advocate, efface, and bandy, do not fit this definition and therefore cannot be the correct answer.

    Explanation
    The word "jaded" means worn out or dulled, often as a result of overindulgence. It suggests a lack of enthusiasm or interest due to excessive or repetitive experiences. The other options, "ogre," "bandy," and "gist," do not have the same meaning as "jaded" and are unrelated to the given definition.

    Explanation

    An entity refers to anything that exists, whether it is physical or mystical. It can be used to describe a wide range of things, such as objects, beings, concepts, or even supernatural entities. In this context, the other three options - bandy, ogre, and advocate - do not fit the definition of something that has existence. Therefore, the correct answer is entity.

    A. Efface
    Explanation
    Efface is a verb that means to erase or remove something, making it the synonym of "erase." In this context, the question is asking for a synonym of the verb provided, and efface fits the criteria. Bandy, charisma, and ogre are unrelated words and do not have the same meaning as erase or efface.

    • Advocate

    Correct Answer
    A. Advocate
    Explanation
    The antonym of the verb "oppose" means to be in favor of or support something. "Advocate" fits this definition as it means to publicly support or recommend a particular cause, policy, or action. Therefore, "advocate" is the correct answer.
