Explanation

The word "digress" means to stray or deviate from the desired topic or main point of a conversation or discussion. It implies going off on a tangent or discussing something unrelated to the original subject. The other options, "uproar" and "to pacify," do not convey the same meaning as "digress" and are therefore incorrect.

6. Avow

Explanation

The word "avow" means to state or claim something to be true. It is used when someone openly declares or acknowledges something as true or factual. This word does not have any connection to kicking out or causing damage. Therefore, the correct answer is "to state to be true; claim."

8. Assuage

Explanation

The correct answer is "to soothe". The word "assuage" means to alleviate or ease something, typically a feeling or emotion. It implies calming or pacifying a person or situation, providing relief or comfort. The other options, such as restricting with chains or thrusting with vigor, do not convey the same meaning as "assuage".

9. Berate 

Explanation

The word "berate" means to rebuke or remonstrate at length. When someone berates another person, they are scolding or criticizing them in a harsh and lengthy manner. This word implies a strong expression of disapproval or dissatisfaction with someone's actions or behavior. It does not mean to soothe, place side by side, or replace; cancel out.

Submit
10. Destitute

Explanation

The word "destitute" means being completely without resources or lacking the basic necessities of life. "Utterly impoverished" has a similar meaning, indicating extreme poverty and a complete lack of means. Therefore, "utterly impoverished" is the correct answer as it accurately captures the meaning of "destitute".
