5. Arma

Explanation

The word "arma" is associated with the words "weapons" and "armour". This suggests that "arma" refers to a category or type of objects that are used for protection and combat. The word "chariot" and "shoulder" do not have a direct connection to "arma", so they are not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is "weapons, armour".

Explanation

The word "clarus" can be translated as "famous, bright, clear." This means that the word has multiple meanings and can be used to describe someone or something that is well-known, intelligent, and easily understood.

"Clever" is not mentioned in the given options and therefore cannot be considered as a correct answer.

Explanation

The word "appear" is the correct answer because it is a verb that means to become visible or to be seen. The word "appareo" is likely a misspelling or a variation of "appear" in a different language.
