The word "diligent" is commonly associated with being careful and hard working. This means that someone who is diligent puts in a lot of effort and attention to detail in their work. The other options provided in the question, such as "loneliness; ruin" and "paralyzing; numbing" do not align with the meaning of diligent. Additionally, "thick; growing in great abundance" is unrelated to the concept of being careful and hard working. Therefore, the correct answer is "careful and hard working".

3. Luxuriant

Explanation

The word "luxuriant" is used to describe something that is thick and growing in great abundance. This means that whatever is being described is flourishing and thriving, with an abundance of growth. The other options, such as loneliness, ruin, protests, and paralyzing, do not convey the same meaning as "thick; growing in great abundance." Therefore, the correct answer is "thick; growing in great abundance."

Explanation

The word "callous" means unfeeling or insensitive. This means that someone who is callous lacks empathy or sympathy towards others and is indifferent to their feelings. The word "protests" and "breaking up; scattering" do not have the same meaning as callous. "Eerily remarkable" and "endlessly" are not related to the definition of callous either. Therefore, the correct answer is unfeeling; insensitive.

6. Dispersing

Explanation

The term "dispersing" means breaking up or scattering. This implies that something is being spread out or separated into different parts. The other options do not align with this meaning. "Thick; growing in great abundance" suggests that something is dense or plentiful, "absolute; unquestioning" implies complete certainty or obedience, "paralyzing; numbing" suggests something that causes paralysis or numbness, and "loneliness; ruin" implies a state of being alone or devastated. Therefore, the correct answer is "breaking up; scattering."

Submit
7. Remonstrances

The word "protests" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that directly relates to the term "remonstrances." Remonstrances are formal protests or objections, making "protests" the most appropriate choice. The other words, such as "endlessly," "unfeeling," "eerily remarkable," and "breaking up; scattering," do not have a direct connection to the term "remonstrances."

8. Uncanny

Explanation

The word "uncanny" is used to describe something that is strange or mysterious in a way that is unsettling. "Eerily remarkable" fits this description as it suggests that something is both remarkable and strange at the same time, creating a sense of unease or fascination. This combination of words captures the essence of the word "uncanny" and provides a suitable explanation for the given answer.

Submit

Explanation

The word "interminably" means endlessly or without end. In the given options, "endlessly" is the only word that has a similar meaning to "interminably". The other options do not convey the same idea of something continuing without stopping. Therefore, "endlessly" is the correct answer.

12. Implicit

Explanation

The given words "absolute" and "unquestioning" are synonyms and imply a strong and unwavering belief or commitment.

Explanation

The word "stupefying" suggests something that is extremely shocking or overwhelming. The word "protests" does not provide any context or indication of what it is describing. The phrase "thick; growing in great abundance" does not relate to the word "stupefying" or provide any additional information. The word "loneliness; ruin" does not match the meaning of "stupefying" and seems unrelated. The phrase "absolute; unquestioning" does not convey the idea of being shocking or overwhelming.
