    Correct Answer
    A. The right to vote
    Explanation
    Suffrage refers to the right to vote. It is a term used to describe the legal and political right of individuals to participate in the democratic process by casting their votes in elections. It is an essential aspect of democracy, allowing citizens to have a say in the governance of their country. The other options provided in the question, such as a passionate expression of grief, radical supporter of politics, and complete unity, do not accurately define suffrage.

    • The right to vote

    • Rediculous, senseless

    • In a random manner

    Correct Answer
    A. Rediculous, senseless
    Explanation
    The word "preposterous" means something that is absurd or ridiculous, completely lacking in reason or sense. Therefore, the correct answer is "ridiculous, senseless".

    Correct Answer
    A. A thing that causes disgust or hatred
    Explanation
    The word "abomination" refers to something that causes a strong feeling of disgust or hatred. This suggests that the thing being described is highly offensive or repulsive to people. The other options, such as "small amount," "managing to do something in a sneaky way," and "devise or invent," do not align with the meaning of "abomination." Therefore, the correct answer is "a thing that causes disgust or hatred."

    Rate this question:

    Radical supporter of politics 

    • Lament

    • Suffrage

    Correct Answer
    A. Revolutionary
    Explanation
    The term "revolutionary" refers to someone who supports or is involved in a radical change or revolution, particularly in politics. This person typically advocates for significant and transformative reforms in the existing system. The other options, such as "lament" (expressing sorrow or regret), "suffrage" (the right to vote), and "solidarity" (unity or cooperation), do not accurately describe someone who supports radical political change. Therefore, the correct answer is "revolutionary."

    Explanation
    Lament refers to a passionate expression of grief or sorrow. It is a deep expression of sadness or mourning, often accompanied by crying, wailing, or other forms of emotional release. This word accurately captures the idea of expressing grief or sorrow in a passionate manner, making it the correct answer in this context.

    A. Scandalous
    Explanation
    The word "scandalous" fits the description of being disgraceful, shameful, shocking, and improper. It implies that something is morally or socially unacceptable, often associated with scandal or controversy. This word accurately captures the negative connotation and suggests behavior or actions that are considered outrageous or offensive.

    • Unsteadily; in an unstable manner

    • Disgraceful; shameful or shocking

    • Act without planning

    Correct Answer
    A. Unsteadily; in an unstable manner
    Explanation
    The word "precariously" is defined as being unsteady or in an unstable manner. This means that something is not firmly or securely positioned, and is therefore prone to falling or collapsing. In this context, "precariously" suggests that an action or situation is being carried out in a way that lacks stability or security. It implies a sense of uncertainty and potential danger. Therefore, the correct answer is "unsteadily; in an unstable manner."
