    • To give respect and honor

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The word "bewilder" means to confuse. It does not refer to a social class or giving respect and honor. Therefore, the correct answer is "to confuse".

    Correct Answer
    A. Of special beauty or charm
    Explanation
    The word "exquisite" is used to describe something that has a special beauty or charm. It implies that the object or experience is exceptionally beautiful or delightful. The other options, "of delight" and "regret," do not accurately capture the meaning of "exquisite" and are therefore incorrect.

    Correct Answer
    A. Expressing regret
    Explanation
    The word "rueful" means expressing regret. It is used to describe someone who is showing or feeling remorse or sorrow for something they have done or failed to do. It is not related to depression or brilliance, which are unrelated concepts. Therefore, the correct answer is expressing regret.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lending money and charging high interest
    Explanation
    The word "usury" refers to the act of lending money and charging high interest. This practice is typically considered unethical or exploitative, as it takes advantage of borrowers who may already be in a vulnerable financial situation. The other options, "delight beyond measure" and "to confuse," do not accurately describe the meaning of usury.

    Correct Answer
    A. Depression

    The word "dejection" means a state of low spirits or sadness, while "delight" means great pleasure or joy. "To confuse" means to make someone feel uncertain or bewildered. "Depression" refers to a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. Out of these options, "depression" is the most closely related to "dejection" as they both describe a state of sadness or low spirits.

    Exorbitant means exceeding all bounds or being too much. It suggests that something is beyond what is considered reasonable or acceptable. This could refer to excessive prices, exaggerated claims, or extravagant behavior. The word "exorbitant" emphasizes the idea of going beyond limits or norms, indicating that something is excessive or extreme. It does not mean "possessed at birth" or "brilliant."

    The word "caste" refers to a social class or division of society based on hereditary status. It is a system that determines a person's social standing and opportunities based on their birth. In this context, "regret" and "beauty" do not relate to the concept of caste. Therefore, the correct answer is "a social class."
