  Warn
- B.

- C.
  
  Large, great
- D.
  
  Small
Correct Answer
A. Warn

Explanation
The word "warn" is the correct answer because it is the only word that does not have any relationship or connection with the other words in the list. The other words, "mon" (which seems to be an incomplete word), "water" (a noun), "large" and "great" (both adjectives), and "small" (an adjective) all have some similarity or association with each other, but "warn" stands out as the odd one out.

Amphi
- A.
  
  Water
- B.
  
  Both ends or all sides
- C.
  
  Many, several
- D.
  
  Warn
Correct Answer
B. Both ends or all sides

Explanation
The word "amphi" is a prefix that comes from the Greek word "amphi" meaning "both" or "all". Therefore, when we say "amphi" in relation to something, it implies that it has a presence or characteristic on both ends or all sides. In the context of the word "amphi" being associated with "water", it suggests that water surrounds or encompasses something from both ends or all sides.
