Dei gratia regina is Latin for 'queen by the grace of God'. This phrase has been used in royal titles, particularly by British monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II, to indicate that their authority comes from divine sanction rather than merely human institutions.

The sentence describes a situation starting in the past and continuing to the present. Present Perfect tense is used for actions that began in the past and continue to or have relevance in the present. "I have not seen him since his mother left the town" is correct because the action of not seeing him started when the mother left and continues to the present. "Had not seen" would be used only if followed by another past event.

Amnesty means a formal pardon or forgiveness, especially granted to a group of people by a government. It refers to the act of forgiving or overlooking an offense, usually political ones. "Pardon" is the correct meaning. "Collect" means to gather, "Wrong" means incorrect, and "Assign" means to allocate or give.

Accord primarily means agreement or harmony between people or groups. It can refer to a formal agreement or treaty, or the state of being in agreement. "Agreement" is the closest match. "Assent" is also a reasonable synonym (agreement or approval), but "Agreement" better captures the broader meaning. "Kind" means generous or helpful, and "Growth" means increase or development.

'Counted out' means 'counted up to ten over a boxer who has been knocked down, signifying his defeat'. This meaning fits in the framework of the meaning of the sentence.
