'Must' is used for logical deductions when we're very sure about something based on strong evidence. Exotic vacations cost money, so if they 'always' go on them, we can conclude they 'must' be rich.

'Can't be' expresses a strong negative deduction when we know something is impossible. Since Person 2 knows Abdul is on holiday in Maldives, he logically 'can't be' sitting there.

The first blank needs 'should' for expectation. The question tag must be negative ('shouldn't you?') because the main clause is positive. Question tags always use the opposite polarity of the main statement.

'Complement' means to complete or make perfect (colors go well together). 'Compliment' means praise or admiration (a nice thing someone says). The sentence needs both meanings in the correct order.

'Discreet' means careful, tactful, or unnoticeable (needed for royal family service). 'Discrete' means separate or distinct (shapes are individual/geometric). The question tests both spellings in context.

'Personal' means individual or private (personal hygiene = your own cleanliness). 'Personnel' refers to staff or employees (speak to someone in the personnel department). The two sentences test both words.

'Ascent' means an upward movement or climb (like climbing a mountain). 'Assent' means to agree or give consent. The definitions match this order exactly.

'Imminent' means about to happen soon (failure is coming). 'Eminent' means distinguished or famous (a respected professor). 'Immanent' means inherent within something (incorrect here).

An adherent is someone who supports a particular party, person, or set of ideas; a 'supporter'. 'Male sheep' is a ram, and 'worldly' is secular.

To 'adjourn' means to suspend or postpone a meeting or proceeding to a later time. It's commonly used in formal contexts like court sessions, meetings, or conferences that break and resume later.
