A
A-B
💡 Explanation:
"Ameliorate" means to improve or make better, while "Intensify" means to increase or strengthen. These represent directional opposites - improving vs. worsening (by intensifying). "Celestial" (relating to sky/heaven) and "Fustian" (pompous language) have no meaningful semantic relationship.
