    Explanation
    The word "introspective" means to look inside of one's feelings or emotions. It refers to the act of reflecting or examining one's own thoughts and emotions. This word is the most suitable answer as it directly matches the given definition.

    • Loathsome

    • Retaliate

    Correct Answer
    A. Retaliate
    Explanation
    The word "retaliate" means to return evil for evil, which aligns with the given phrase "to return evil for evil." It implies responding to an act of harm or wrongdoing with a similar action. The other words mentioned in the question - inflammation, callous, and loathsome - do not have the same meaning or connotation as "retaliate." Therefore, the correct answer is "retaliate."

    To grow or increase

    • Inflammation

    • Swarthy

    • Wax

    • Prowess

    Correct Answer
    A. Wax
    Explanation
    Wax can be used to explain the concept of growth or increase. Just like how wax can melt and expand when heated, the term "to wax" can be used to describe something that is growing or increasing in size or intensity. This can be applied to various contexts, such as waxing moon (the moon appearing to grow in size), waxing philosophical (engaging in deep thinking or contemplation), or waxing poetic (expressing oneself in a poetic manner). Therefore, wax can be associated with the idea of growth or increase.

    Rate this question:

    • Retaliate

    • Callous

    Correct Answer
    A. Loathsome
    Explanation
    The word "loathsome" is the correct answer because it means extremely unpleasant or disgusting. It is synonymous with the words "hateful" and "disgusting" given in the question. The other options, "retaliate" means to respond to an attack or harm with a similar action, "callous" means showing a lack of empathy or compassion, and "introspective" means examining one's own thoughts and feelings. Therefore, "loathsome" is the most appropriate choice that matches the given words.

    Swarthy means having a dark complexion. This word is often used to describe someone with a deep or tanned skin tone. It is synonymous with terms like dark-skinned or dusky. The other options, metamorphosis, callous, and inflammation, do not relate to the concept of having a dark complexion. Therefore, the correct answer is swarthy.
