English Language

The word 'deferential' means showing respect or courteous regard. None of the options 'Volatile' (unstable), 'Fraught' (full of), or 'Quick' (fast) are synonyms of 'deferential'. Therefore, 'None of these' is the correct answer.

The verb 'admire' is typically followed by a noun or a gerund phrase to indicate what is being admired. In the sentence, 'He admired having seen the musical show...' the gerund phrase 'having seen' correctly functions as the object of 'admired.' Using the infinitive 'to see' or the passive form 'being seen' is not grammatically appropriate here. Therefore, option A is correct.

In this sentence, 'The woman I spoke to' is correct because the relative pronoun 'who' or 'whom' can be omitted when it functions as the object of the verb in the relative clause. Option C is the most natural and grammatically correct choice.

The word 'adamant' means refusing to be persuaded or to change one's mind, which is synonymous with 'obstinate'. The other options do not convey the same meaning.

The correct preposition to use with 'impression' in this context is 'under.' The phrase 'under the impression' means to believe something that is not true, which fits the sentence perfectly.

The sentence is a third conditional, which refers to a hypothetical past situation and its possible past result. The correct form is 'If they had bought new batteries, their torch would have worked better.' Option C uses the past perfect tense 'had bought,' which is appropriate here.

Option B is grammatically correct and fits the sentence structure properly: 'Our father advised us not to be sad as he thought that his decision would bring betterment in the long run.' The phrase 'not to be sad' correctly follows the verb 'advised' in reported speech.

The word 'coerce' means to compel or force someone to do something. Among the options, 'Compel' is the synonym that best matches 'coerce'. 'Entice' and 'Coax' imply persuasion by attraction or gentle urging, which is different from coercion.

The sentence is a third conditional structure, which uses 'If they had gone...' followed by 'they would have understood...' to express a hypothetical past situation and its possible result. Option A correctly completes the sentence with the appropriate conditional form.

The word 'valiant' means showing courage or determination. The opposite is 'cowardly', which means lacking courage. Therefore, option B is the correct antonym.

Option B correctly uses the past perfect tense 'had discussed' in the if-clause, which is the proper form for the third conditional expressing a past unreal condition. The other options are grammatically incorrect or less appropriate.

The correct past tense and past participle of 'hurt' is 'hurt', not 'hurted'. Therefore, 'Ali has hurt his hand' is grammatically correct, while the other options are incorrect forms.

The correct sentence uses the definite article 'The' before both 'earth' and 'sun' because they are unique objects known to the reader. Therefore, 'The earth moves around the sun.' is correct.

The word 'wiry' correctly describes someone who is thin but strong, especially in physical strength, which fits the context of the sentence. 'Raudulent' and 'Frolisome' are not standard English words, and 'None of these' is incorrect since 'wiry' is appropriate.

Romeo is described as 'brooding' because he is deeply thoughtful and melancholic about his unrequited love for Rosaline. 'Brooding' accurately captures his mood, while the other options do not fit the context.

The idiom 'to make amends for' means to compensate for a wrongdoing or damage caused, which aligns with option B. The other options do not correctly define this idiom.

The word 'faux' is a French-origin adjective commonly used in English to mean 'false' or 'artificial.' Therefore, 'Artificial' is the correct synonym among the options provided.

The term 'proletariat' refers to the working class or lower class in society, especially in Marxist theory. Therefore, option A, 'Lower class,' is the correct meaning.

The sentence "The lady in the blue dress has won the prize." contains a single independent clause with a subject and a predicate, making it a simple sentence. It does not have multiple independent clauses (compound) or dependent clauses (complex).

Option A is grammatically correct and uses appropriate vocabulary. Option B is incorrect because 'utilizations' is not commonly used in this context and the verb agreement is wrong ('makes' should be 'make' if plural). Option C is a duplicate of A but the question asks to select the correct sentence, so the first correct option A is preferred. Option D is incorrect as there are correct sentences provided.

The word 'preposterous' means absurd or ridiculous, which fits the context of the sentence expressing disbelief that it could snow in the desert. The other options do not convey this meaning appropriately.

The correct word to complete the sentence is 'Either' because it introduces a choice or condition: 'Either you apologize, or I'll never speak to you again.' This construction is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

The word 'hogwash' means nonsense or foolish talk, so the correct substitution is 'Nonsense'. The other options do not match the meaning of 'hogwash'.

The correct spelling of the word referring to a loan paid monthly is 'Mortgage'. Options A and B are incorrect spellings or unrelated words, and D is not applicable since option C is correct.

The phrase 'ready to eat anyone's salt' means being ready to accept hospitality or be a guest, but the correct idiomatic meaning is 'to be someone's guest,' not 'to be one's guest' as option A states. Since none of the options correctly capture the meaning, 'None of these' is the best choice.
