'Exult' means to show or feel great joy or triumph, to rejoice. It comes from Latin 'exultare' (to leap up). 'Shield' and 'regret' are unrelated meanings.

'Expunge' means to erase, destroy, or remove completely, often from a record. It's commonly used in legal contexts ('expunge from the record'). 'Remove' is the closest synonym among the options.

'Extenuate' means to weaken, reduce in strength, or mitigate. It's used in 'extenuating circumstances' which are factors that weaken blame or reduce severity. 'Weaken' captures this meaning best among the options.

The sentence means 'He likes Beethoven very much, but he doesn't like Mozart.' 'Mag' is the third person singular of 'mögen' (to like). 'Soll' means 'should', 'möchte' means 'would like', and 'mage' is not a valid German verb form.

The correct answer is 'darf' because the sentence context 'Ihre Eltern erlauben es nicht' (Her parents don't allow it) requires the modal verb for permission. 'Darf nicht' means 'is not allowed to' in German, which fits perfectly. 'Moechte' expresses desire, 'will' expresses intention/want, and 'mag' expresses liking - none convey permission.

Extirpate means to pull up by the roots or to destroy completely. 'Root up' is a literal and figurative synonym. 'Praise' and 'attach' are antonyms or unrelated.

The correct answer is 'omnipresent' because 'ubiquitous' means present, appearing, or found everywhere. The prefix 'ubiq-' relates to 'everywhere' (from Latin ubiquitas), synonymous with 'omnipresent'. 'Frank', 'angelic', and 'rude' are unrelated personality traits that don't connect to the concept of being widespread or universal.

The correct answer is 'meeting' because 'tryst' refers to a private, often secret meeting between two people, historically with romantic connotations. 'Filth' (dirt/grime), 'flash' (sudden burst of light), and 'none of the above' are incorrect. The word derives from Old French and originally meant an agreed meeting place.

The correct answer is 'praise' because 'blandish' means to flatter or praise someone coaxingly in order to gain favor or advantage. It's a transitive verb used specifically in contexts where someone is being buttered up. 'Struggle', 'measure', and 'annuity' (financial payment) are completely unrelated to the meaning of coaxing through flattery.

The correct answer is 'imperishable' because 'imputrescible' is a technical term meaning 'not liable to rot or decay' - literally 'cannot become putrid'. The prefix 'im-' means 'not', 'putresc' relates to rotting, and '-ible' means 'capable of'. 'General', 'evaluate', and 'introduce' share no etymological or semantic connection with the concept of imperishability.
