English

The word 'enormous' means very large, so its antonym is 'tiny,' which means very small. The other options do not relate to size and therefore are incorrect as antonyms in this context.

The word 'denigrate' means to criticize unfairly or disparage. Its antonym is 'boost,' which means to increase or improve, making option C correct. The other options (asperse, besmirch, vilify) are synonyms of denigrate, not antonyms.

A collage is made up of images, just as a medley is made up of songs. Both pairs show a whole composed of parts, making option B the correct analogy.

The analogy compares a collection to its components or medium: 'Words' are the building blocks of 'Poetry', just as 'Notes' are the building blocks of 'Music'. This makes option B the correct analogy.

The analogy compares 'PAIN' to 'SEDATIVE', where a sedative is used to relieve or soothe pain. Similarly, 'grief' is relieved or soothed by 'consolation', making option B the correct analogy. Other options do not maintain this relationship of relief or soothing.

The word 'lucid' means clear or easy to understand. Its antonym is 'vague,' which means unclear or not clearly expressed, making option D the correct choice.

The analogy compares a characteristic to what it describes. 'Wan' describes a pale or sickly color, so the correct analogy is 'pallid: complexion' since 'pallid' describes a pale complexion. Option B ('insipid: flavour') is about taste, not color, so it is incorrect.

The passage mentions possible fates such as death by gamma rays, gaining knowledge of the universe, and destruction by gravity, but does not mention 'experience of amusement' as a fate for an astronaut falling into a black hole, making option A the correct answer.

The analogy HOPE : ASPIRES shows a relationship where hope leads to aspiring. Similarly, LOVE : ELEVATES shows that love elevates or uplifts. Option C (fib : lie) is a synonym pair, not a cause-effect or action-result relationship like the original. Therefore, A is the best answer.

The word 'niggardly' means stingy or miserly, so its antonym is 'generous,' which means willing to give or share freely. The other options (chintzy, closefisted, skimpy) are synonyms or similar in meaning to 'niggardly,' not antonyms.
