    Correct Answer
    A. Solitude
    Explanation
    Solitude refers to the state of being alone, where one seeks isolation and prefers to be by themselves. It is a state of being separate from others, allowing for self-reflection, introspection, and personal growth. Solitude is different from loneliness, as it is a voluntary choice and can be a source of peace, tranquility, and creativity. It provides an opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and find solace in one's own thoughts and company.

    • Abhor

    Correct Answer
    A. Egotism
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Egotism." Egotism refers to excessive self-importance or self-centeredness. It is characterized by a lack of consideration for others and an inflated sense of one's own abilities or achievements. This aligns with the given definition of "conceit, selfishness, vanity." "Abhor" means to hate or detest, "void" refers to emptiness or absence, and "virtue" refers to moral excellence or goodness, which do not match the given definition.

    • Abhor

    Correct Answer
    A. Abhor
    Explanation
    The word "abhor" means to loathe or hate. This definition aligns with the given explanation "to loathe; to hate." The other options, "antagonism," "agitation," and "mercurial," do not convey the same meaning as "abhor." Therefore, "abhor" is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pessimistic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Pessimistic". This is because the given definition of the word "pessimistic" aligns with the provided explanation - having to do with expecting the worst and being gloomy. "Vindictive" means having or showing a strong desire for revenge, which does not relate to the given definition. "Visceral" refers to relating to deep inward feelings rather than intellectual response, which is not related to the given definition either. "Aversion" means a strong dislike or disinclination, which also does not align with the given definition.

    Credulity refers to an excessive inclination to believe something without questioning or doubting its validity. It implies a tendency to be gullible or easily fooled. The other options, Detest, Awe, and Solitude, do not relate to the concept of excessive belief or trust. Therefore, Credulity is the correct answer.

"Exasperation" refers to frustration or annoyance, "visceral" pertains to deep emotional or instinctive feelings, and "egotism" refers to excessive self-centeredness.

This term accurately describes the feeling of extreme frustration or irritation, which is the closest meaning to the given definition. "Detest" means to intensely dislike or hate, "Volatile" means easily changing or unpredictable, and "Antagonism" means hostility or opposition.
