  • 2. 

    The placid meadow

    • Peaceful

    • Positioned

    • Portly

    • Predictable

    Correct Answer
    A. Peaceful
    Explanation
    The word "placid" suggests a calm and peaceful environment, which aligns with the word "peaceful" in the answer. The other words - "positioned," "portly," and "predictable" - do not convey the same sense of tranquility and serenity as "placid meadow" does. Therefore, the most suitable word that matches the given description is "peaceful."

    • Brave

    • Confused

    • Relaxed

    Correct Answer
    A. Brave
    Explanation
    The given correct answer for the question is "brave". This suggests that the intrepid warrior is courageous and fearless in the face of danger. Being intrepid implies a willingness to take risks and confront challenges, which requires bravery. Therefore, "brave" is the most suitable description for an intrepid warrior.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A stack of counterfeit money

    • Expensive

    • Fake

    • High

    • Necessary

    Correct Answer
    A. Fake
    Explanation
    The given answer "fake" correctly describes the stack of counterfeit money. Counterfeit money refers to fake currency that is not genuine or legally produced. Therefore, the word "fake" accurately represents the nature of the stack of money being discussed in the question.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The potent smell

    • Greasy

    • Strong

    • Movable

    • Livid

    Correct Answer
    A. Strong
    Explanation
    The word "potent" means having a strong or powerful effect, especially in terms of smell. Therefore, the correct answer "strong" accurately describes the characteristic of the smell.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    sagacious advice

    • Vicious

    • Cold

    • Wise

    • Floppy

    Correct Answer
    A. Wise
    Explanation
    The word "sagacious" means having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment. The word "advice" refers to guidance or recommendations offered to someone about what they should do in a particular situation. Therefore, "sagacious advice" means wise or insightful guidance. Among the given options, "wise" is the only word that accurately represents the meaning of "sagacious advice." "Vicious" means cruel or violent, "cold" means lacking warmth or emotion, and "floppy" means lacking firmness or stiffness, none of which are synonymous with sagacious advice.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Performed with vigor

    • Lies

    • Calmness

    • Music

    • Energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Energy
    Explanation
    The word "energy" is the correct answer because it is the only word that is synonymous with "vigor" and can be used to describe a performance. "Lies" and "calmness" do not fit the context of the question, and "music" is unrelated to the idea of performing with vigor. Therefore, "energy" is the most appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A belligerent villain

    • Friendly

    • Educated

    • Nasty

    • Fearful

    Correct Answer
    A. Nasty
    Explanation
    The term "nasty" refers to someone who is unpleasant, mean-spirited, or malicious in their behavior. This is the opposite of being friendly, educated, or fearful. A belligerent villain is typically characterized as someone who is hostile, aggressive, and exhibits a nasty demeanor. Therefore, "nasty" is the most fitting description for a belligerent villain.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Read with cognition

    • Wariness

    • Promise

    • Heart

    • Awareness

    Correct Answer
    A. Awareness
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "awareness". In the given list of words, "awareness" is the only word that relates to the act of being conscious or knowledgeable about something. "Read with cognition" suggests reading with understanding, "wariness" implies caution or being cautious, "promise" refers to a commitment or assurance, and "heart" represents emotions or feelings. None of these words directly relate to the concept of awareness. Therefore, "awareness" is the most appropriate answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A meandering road

    • Straight

    • Curious

    • Winding

    • Wondering

    Correct Answer
    A. Winding
    Explanation
    The word "winding" best describes a meandering road because it suggests a path that twists and turns rather than being straight. "Winding" implies a sense of unpredictability and exploration, which aligns with the idea of a meandering road. The other options, "straight," "curious," and "wondering," do not convey the same sense of movement and variation that "winding" does.
