    • Strong

    • Mindful

    • Feeling

    • Memorable

    Correct Answer
    A. Mindful
    Explanation
    Anini was described as a "mindless criminal," indicating that he acted without thought or consideration. The opposite of being mindless is being mindful, which means being conscious and aware of one's actions and their consequences. Therefore, the correct answer is "mindful."

    • Defendant

    • Complainan

    • Accused

    • Prosecution

    Correct Answer
    A. Defendant
    Explanation
    The word "opposite in meaning" suggests that we are looking for a word that is the opposite of "plaintiff." In a legal context, a plaintiff is the person who brings a case against another party, while a defendant is the person who is being accused or sued. Therefore, "defendant" is the opposite of "plaintiff" and is the correct answer in this case.

    • He uses a pair pf glasses

    • Everyone admires him

    Correct Answer
    A. Everyone admires him
    Explanation
    The phrase "He was all eyes at the reception" suggests that the person mentioned is very attentive and observant. This is further supported by the option "everyone admires him" as it implies that the person's attentiveness is admired by others.

    • Agreed to

    Correct Answer
    A. Rejected
    Explanation
    The word "acquiesced" means to agree or consent to something without protest. Therefore, the option opposite in meaning to "acquiesced" would be "rejected," which means to refuse or deny something.

  • 6. 

    Choose the option nearest in meaning to the word underlinedThe sulphur smouldered in the dish

    • Burnt slowly

    • Blazed

    • Oozed

    • Glistened

    Correct Answer
    A. Burnt slowly
    Explanation
    The word "smouldered" suggests that the sulphur was burning slowly and emitting smoke, rather than blazing or oozing. "Glistened" means to shine or sparkle, which is not the appropriate description for the sulphur in this context. Therefore, the option "burnt slowly" is the closest in meaning to the underlined word.

    • Repeat himself

    • Deny all he said

    Correct Answer
    A. Deny all he said
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "deny all he said" because the phrase "eat his word" means to retract or take back something that one has said. In this context, the person had to deny or disavow everything they had previously said when their master appeared.

    • End

    Correct Answer
    A. Resume
    Explanation
    The word in bold, "refused to call off," indicates that the demonstrators have decided to continue or carry on with their action. The option opposite in meaning to this is "resume," which means to start again or continue after a pause or interruption. This option implies that the demonstrators have temporarily stopped their action but have now decided to continue it.

    • Gentle

    • Unruffled

    • Cool

    • Serene

    Correct Answer
    A. Serene
    Explanation
    The word "wallowed" suggests that the waves were turbulent and aggressive, causing the boat to move in an unsteady and uncontrolled manner. Therefore, the opposite in meaning would be "serene," which implies a calm and peaceful environment without any disturbance or agitation.
