Synonyms

'Bagatelle' means something of little importance or value. Therefore, both words 'lump sum' and 'shortcomings' are not correct for being synonyms of word Bagatelle. Among words peanuts and trifle, though peanuts (a trifling or relatively small sum of money) goes in same sense as has been used in this sentence but it is not good enough to be termed as synonym of Bagatelle in this context. Option (D), 'trifle'(a small amount of money) is more appropriate of those given to act as synonym of Bagatelle.

In the context of obstruction, 'bar' and 'clog' are synonymous. As verbs, both can mean to obstruct, block, or prevent passage. A bar can stop progress, just as a clog can block a pipe or drain.

As a synonym, 'source' correctly represents the concept of 'derivation'. Derivation refers to the origin or source from which something is derived. If you trace the derivation of a word, you're finding its source.
