English

The word 'indigence' means extreme poverty or destitution. Among the options, 'poverty' is the correct synonym as it directly relates to lack of financial resources.

The word "pelt" means to throw things at someone or something repeatedly, often stones or other small objects. Therefore, "to throw things at" is the correct synonym.

The correct article before the phrase 'very nice dinner' is 'a' because 'very' starts with a consonant sound 'v'. The indefinite article 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, which is not the case here. Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'Thank you. That was a very nice dinner.'

The correct preposition to use with 'looked' when referring to seeing someone is 'at'. 'Looked at you' means directing one's gaze toward you, which fits the context of the sentence. 'Looked for you' means searching for you, which is not the intended meaning here.

"Persiflage" means light and slightly contemptuous mockery or banter. Therefore, "banter" is the correct synonym among the options provided.

The word 'tractable' means easily managed or controlled, which is synonymous with 'amenable.' The other options do not share this meaning: 'practicable' means feasible, 'indisposed' means unwell or unwilling, and 'critical' means expressing adverse judgment.

The word "homogenous" means consisting of parts or elements that are all the same or uniform in nature. Synonyms include uniform, consistent, similar, identical, and alike. Among the given options, none are exact synonyms, but "motley" means diverse or varied, which is actually an antonym. The correct synonym should be "uniform" or "similar," but since none of the options match, the question options need revision. The original correct answer 'C' (scrambled) is incorrect as it means mixed or jumbled, which is opposite in meaning. Therefore, the question and options should be corrected to include proper synonyms like "uniform" or "similar."

The word 'ridiculous' means absurd or silly, so the synonym 'silly' (option A) is the correct choice. 'Glorious' and 'Frivolous' do not share the same meaning as 'ridiculous'.

The sentence expresses a future intention or promise not to lie, which is correctly conveyed by the modal verb 'won't' (will not). The other options do not fit the future tense context.

The definite article 'the' is used before 'television' when referring to a specific television that both the speaker and listener know about. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles and do not fit here, and 'none' is not an article.
