Explanation

Disparage means to regard or represent as being of little worth or value, to belittle or speak negatively about something. 'Command' means to order, 'exalt' means to praise highly (the opposite), and 'greedy' is an adjective describing excessive desire - only 'undervalue' captures the meaning of treating something as unimportant.

Gluttony is excessive indulgence in food or drink - habitual greed or excess in consumption. 'Satisfaction' suggests contentment (moderation), 'beatitude' means supreme blessedness, and 'sadness' is an emotion - 'greedy' (in the sense of excessive desire/consumption) is the closest match, though it's an adjective describing the attitude behind gluttony.

Ravish traditionally means to seize and carry away by force, to overwhelm with emotion, or to plunder. 'Accumulate,' 'preserve,' and 'uphold' suggest building, protecting, or maintaining - opposite actions to taking or misusing.

  4. approve

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Repugnance means strong disgust or intense dislike. Disinclination accurately captures this sense of aversion, though it's milder than repugnance. The other options (affection, like, approve) are antonyms - they represent positive feelings opposite to repugnance.

Multiple choice
  1. stunt

  2. compress

  3. restrict

  4. elucidate

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

Unfold can mean to make something clearer or easier to understand, which elucidate captures perfectly. Elucidate means to make clear or explain, which is a sophisticated synonym for unfold in an intellectual context. Stunt, compress, and restrict are all opposites - they involve limiting or constraining rather than opening up.
