    The word "before" is used to indicate the time or order in which something happens. In this context, "before" is the correct answer because it is the opposite of "after." It suggests that something occurs prior to another event or in a preceding position.

    Explanation
    The word "across" means to go from one side to the other side of something. It implies movement or position from one end or side to the opposite end or side. The other options ("under," "before," and "after") do not convey the same meaning as "across" and do not involve the concept of moving or being positioned from one side to the other.

    A. Year
    Explanation
    The given words "ann" and "enni" do not have any clear connection or relation to the word "year". However, "year" is a standalone word that can be easily understood and does not require any additional context or information to make sense. Therefore, "year" is the correct answer in this case.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Nov, neo

    • New

In this context, the word "new" does not have any relation to the other words mentioned in the question such as "nov" or "neo". Therefore, the correct answer is "new" because it does not fit into any of the provided options.

    • Across

    • Under

    • Before

    Correct Answer
    A. Under

    • Water

    • Short

    • Large, great

"Brev" means brief or concise, and "short" is a synonym for these meanings. The other words in the list, such as "water", "large", "great", and "warn", do not have any direct connection to the word "brev".

Therefore, when combined with the word "ends" or "sides", it suggests that something is present or can be found on both ends or all sides. This explanation aligns with the meaning of the word "amphi" and provides a clear understanding of the correct answer.
