English

The word 'uproar' means a state of noisy confusion or commotion, which is synonymous with 'turmoil'. The other options mean calmness or agreement, which are antonyms.

The phrase "to catch a tartar" means to encounter or deal with a person who is unexpectedly strong, formidable, or more than one's match. It often implies that someone thought a task or opponent would be easy but found it much tougher than expected. This idiom originates from the historical reputation of the Tartars as fierce warriors. Therefore, the best answer is C: To deal with a person who is more than one’s match. Option A, "To meet with disaster," is related but less precise, and option B, "To catch a dangerous person," is a literal interpretation that does not capture the idiomatic meaning.

The word 'Serene' means calm, peaceful, and untroubled, making it the correct synonym for 'Calm'. The other options have opposite or unrelated meanings.

A 'Boulevard' is a wide street, often lined with trees, similar in meaning to an 'Avenue'. The other options (Vortex, Turbulence, Whirlpool, Turmoil) relate to chaotic or swirling motions, which are unrelated to the meaning of 'Boulevard'.

The word 'prevalence' means the state of being widespread or common. Among the options, 'Commonness' is the synonym that best matches this meaning.

The word 'manoeuvre' refers to a skillful or clever movement or action, often to achieve a particular purpose. 'Intrigue' can mean a secret or crafty action, which aligns closely with the idea of a manoeuvre as a strategic or cunning act. The other options do not relate to this meaning.

The word "meticulous" means showing great attention to detail. The antonym is "sloppy," which means careless or showing a lack of attention to detail. The other options are synonyms or related words with similar meanings to "meticulous."

The correct form to complete the sentence is 'been' because the present perfect tense ('have/has + past participle') is used to talk about experiences up to now. 'Been' is the past participle of 'be' and fits correctly here.

The correct preposition in the phrase is 'by' as in 'He took his brother by the hand,' which means he held his brother's hand. The other options do not form correct or common expressions in this context.

The correct word to fill the blank is 'either' because it refers to one or the other of two options, which fits the context of 'flats and shared houses.' 'Both' would imply all rooms in both places, which is less appropriate here.
