  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Weeping means crying or shedding tears, often as an expression of grief. Mourning is the expression of deep sorrow, typically for someone who has died, and weeping is a common manifestation of mourning. This makes them conceptually related in emotional context. Repairing and patching refer to fixing things, which is unrelated to emotional expression.

  3. Hide

  4. Stifle

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Unselfishness is the quality of being generous and not putting oneself first. Generous directly relates to this concept - it means willing to give more of something than is necessary or expected. While there is a slight part-of-speech difference (noun vs adjective), the semantic relationship is strong. Audacity means boldness, while hide and stifle mean to suppress or conceal.

Multiple choice
  1. Dislike

  2. Away

  3. Item

  4. Wordy

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Article can refer to a particular item or distinct part of something. Item is a direct synonym in this context - both can refer to an individual unit, entry, or component within a larger collection or document. Dislike, away, and wordy (meaning using too many words) don't relate to the meaning of article.

  1. Beholden

  2. Doctrine

  3. Indistinct

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Obliged means required to do something or feeling grateful. Beholden means owing thanks or having a obligation to someone, which captures both senses - being under obligation and feeling gratitude. Doctrine means a belief system, indistinct means unclear, and none of these is incorrect.

Multiple choice
  1. Cosider

  2. Heedful

  3. Remiss

  4. Gay

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

View can mean to look at or to consider something. Consider (spelled 'Cosider' in the option, which is a typo) is a direct synonym meaning to think about or regard something. Heedful means attentive, remiss means negligent, and gay means cheerful - none relate to viewing or considering.
