    Correct Answer
    A. One’s second self, other side to personality
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "One's second self, other side to personality" because the phrase "alter ego" refers to a person's other self or a different side of their personality. It is not related to a person causing a problem, a helper, or a person who supports your enemy.

    • Bushwhacker

    Correct Answer
    A. Bodyguard
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Bodyguard" because an aide de camp is a military officer who serves as a personal assistant to a senior officer or a high-ranking official, such as a governor. They provide administrative support and often act as a liaison between the official and other staff members. Therefore, it makes sense that the governor would be followed by a bodyguard for protection and security purposes.

    Correct Answer
    A. A sudden change in the political set up or of government through unconstitutional methods.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A sudden change in the political set up or of government through unconstitutional methods." This is because the phrase "coup d'état" refers to a sudden and illegal seizure of power by a group, usually within a government or military. The phrase "brought down by one coup d'état or the other" indicates that many governments have been overthrown or replaced by such unconstitutional methods.

    The correct answer is "On one side, as a partisan." This means that the defendant was absent for a long time, and the judge made a decision without their presence or input. The phrase "on one side, as a partisan" suggests that the judge made the decision based on one perspective or viewpoint, without considering the defendant's side of the case.
