    Explanation
    The words "tall" and "lofty" are synonyms because they both refer to something that is of great height or stature. Both words can be used to describe a person, a building, or any other object that is significantly taller than average. Therefore, "tall" and "lofty" can be used interchangeably to convey the same meaning.

    It is true that someone could be persecuted for having different beliefs. Throughout history, individuals with differing beliefs have often been targeted and persecuted by those in power who seek to maintain control and conformity. This can be seen in cases of religious persecution, political persecution, and discrimination based on personal beliefs. The existence of persecution based on different beliefs is a sad reality, and it is important to promote tolerance and acceptance of diverse perspectives.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A painting
    A. A plan
    Explanation
    A painting and a plan could both be unveiled because they are physical objects or concepts that can be revealed or shown to others. A cloud, on the other hand, cannot be unveiled as it is a natural phenomenon that cannot be physically uncovered or revealed.

    Correct Answer(s)

    A. Grasp
    Explanation
    The word "clasp" can be synonymous with "fastener" because both words refer to something that holds or secures things together. Additionally, "clasp" can also be synonymous with "grasp" because both words imply the act of holding onto something tightly or firmly. However, "release" is not a synonym of "clasp" as it means to let go or free something, which is the opposite of what a clasp does.
