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.

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."

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.

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.

9. Precariously

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."
