A person who looks on the dark side of things is called a pessimist, as they tend to expect the worst outcomes. This contrasts with an optimist, who expects positive outcomes.

The word 'abandon' means to leave something behind or give up on it. Among the options, 'Leave' is the closest synonym, while 'Abstract' and 'Abduct' have different meanings, and 'None of these' is incorrect.

The correct relative pronoun to use as the subject of the clause is 'who' because it refers to 'the man' and functions as the subject of the verb 'met'. 'Whom' is used as an object, which is incorrect here.

The correct preposition to use with 'accountable' in this context is 'to'. We say 'accountable to God' to indicate responsibility or answerability towards God for our actions.

The correct preposition to indicate the starting point of an action continuing up to now is 'since'. 'He has been working since morning' is grammatically correct, whereas 'for' would require a duration (e.g., 'for two hours').

The word 'obscene' means offensive or indecent, especially in a sexual context. Both 'dirty' and 'indecent' capture aspects of this meaning, making option D ('Both A & B') the most accurate choice.

The word 'ravage' means to cause severe and extensive damage or ruin. Therefore, 'Ruin' is the correct synonym among the options provided.

An archetype is an original model or typical example that serves as a pattern or prototype. The antonym of 'archetype' would be a term that means a copy, imitation, or reproduction rather than an original. 'Origin' is closely related to 'archetype' as both imply originality or source, so it is not an antonym. 'Copy' means a reproduction or imitation, which is the opposite of an original model, making it the correct antonym. 'Generous' and 'Factory' are unrelated to the meaning of 'archetype'. Therefore, the correct antonym of 'archetype' among the options is 'Copy'.

Option D is the grammatically correct and natural-sounding sentence that conveys the intended meaning clearly. The other options contain incorrect word order or verb forms that make them ungrammatical or awkward.

The word 'pathological' relates to disease or abnormality, so its antonym is 'healthy,' which means free from disease or abnormality. Options like 'sick,' 'chemicals,' and 'selective' do not represent the opposite meaning.
