2. Turmoil most likely means

Explanation

Turmoil refers to a state of confusion or disorder. It implies a situation that is chaotic, unsettled, or in upheaval. Therefore, the correct answer is "Confusion."

3. Revival most likely means

Explanation

Revival most likely means "Re-Awakening" because revival refers to the act of bringing something back to life or restoring something to its former state. Re-awakening implies a similar idea of coming back to life or regaining consciousness. It aligns with the concept of revival and is the most suitable option among the given choices.

Submit
4. Habitat most nearly means

Explanation

Habitat refers to the natural environment or surroundings in which a particular species or organism lives. It includes the physical, biological, and environmental factors that influence the growth, development, and survival of the organism. Therefore, "environment" is the word that most closely matches the meaning of "habitat".

Submit
5. Perpetual most likely means

Explanation

Perpetual most likely means continuous because it implies something that is ongoing, uninterrupted, and without an end. It suggests a state of constant existence or recurrence. The other options, such as stop, at a right angle too, and warm, do not convey the same sense of continuous or never-ending nature.

Submit
6. Broad most nearly means

Explanation

Broad most nearly means wide because both words refer to something that has a large distance or extent from side to side. They can be used interchangeably in many contexts to describe something that is not narrow or confined. For example, a broad street or a wide river both convey the idea of something that is spacious and expansive. Therefore, wide is the best synonym for broad in this case.

Submit
7. Wary most likely means

Explanation

The word "wary" is used to describe someone who is cautious or careful. This means that they are aware of potential dangers or risks and take steps to avoid them. The other options - "naval," "cold," and "tired" - do not have the same meaning as "wary" and are therefore not the correct answer.

Submit
8. Mary faced the challege with Zest.

Explanation

The word "zest" suggests a positive and energetic approach towards the challenge. "Enthusiasm" aligns with this meaning as it refers to a strong excitement or eagerness. It indicates that Mary tackled the challenge with a positive and enthusiastic attitude, rather than feeling tired or overwhelmed (exhaustion) or having high hopes (expectation). Therefore, "enthusiasm" is the most suitable answer.

Submit
9. Clumsy most likely means

Explanation

The word "clumsy" is used to describe someone who lacks coordination or is awkward in their movements. It implies a lack of grace or finesse. Therefore, the most likely meaning of "clumsy" is "awkward."

Submit
10. Posperous most nearly means

Explanation

The word "prosperous" is often used to describe someone or something that is successful, thriving, and flourishing. It implies financial well-being, abundance, and overall success in various aspects of life. Therefore, "successful" is the closest synonym to "prosperous" among the given options.

Submit
11. Coroner most likely means

Explanation

A coroner is a person who investigates and determines the cause of death in cases where it is sudden, unexpected, or suspicious. They are usually medical professionals, such as doctors or forensic pathologists, who specialize in examining dead bodies to gather evidence and determine the cause of death. Therefore, the correct answer is "Medical examiner."

Submit
12. Limber most likely means

Explanation

Limber most likely means flexible because the word "limber" is often used to describe someone who is able to move their body easily and without stiffness. It implies a certain level of suppleness and agility in the muscles and joints, allowing for fluid and unrestricted movement. The other options, powerful, muscular, and slippery, do not accurately capture the meaning of "limber" as they do not convey the idea of flexibility.

Submit
13. Evasive most likely means

Explanation

The word "evasive" is often used to describe someone or something that avoids or eludes capture, detection, or confrontation. "Dodge" is a synonym for evasive as it means to avoid or elude by a quick movement or clever maneuver. Therefore, "Dodge" is the most likely meaning of "evasive" among the given options.

Submit
14. Reform most nearly means

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
15. Chide most likely means

Explanation

Chide most likely means "Joke" because it is the option that is most closely related to the word's definition. Chide means to scold or reprimand someone, while a joke is a form of humor or amusement. The other options, such as hamper, stab, and hurt, do not align with the meaning of chide. Therefore, "joke" is the most appropriate answer.

Submit
16. Impair most likely means

Explanation

The word "impair" typically refers to something being weakened or damaged, which can result in a delay or hinderance. It does not necessarily mean to complement or repair something, nor does it imply destruction. Therefore, the most likely meaning of "impair" is to cause a delay or hinder progress.
