English

The word 'doleful' means sorrowful or mournful, so its antonym is 'vivacious,' which means lively and full of energy. The other options do not convey the opposite meaning of 'doleful.'

The word "offset" means to counterbalance or compensate for something. Among the options, "counteract" best matches this meaning, making it the correct replacement.

The antonym of 'ingest' (to take in food or drink) is 'disgorge' (to eject or throw out). The other options do not represent the opposite action of ingesting.

The analogy compares a measurement category to its unit: distance is measured in miles, just as liquid is measured in litres. Option A correctly reflects this relationship, while the other options do not represent a direct measurement-to-unit analogy.

The word 'wary' means being cautious or careful. Among the options, 'prudent' best matches this meaning as it means showing care and thought for the future. The other options imply carelessness or lack of caution, which are opposite in meaning.

The analogy compares 'circuitous' (meaning indirect or roundabout) to 'router' (a device that directs data along indirect paths). Similarly, 'elliptical' (meaning indirect or obscure) relates to 'brevity' (conciseness in speech or writing). Thus, 'elliptical : brevity' is the best parallel analogy.

The word 'precarious' means not securely held or in a dangerous or uncertain situation. 'Perilous' means full of danger or risk, which is a suitable synonym. 'Safe' is the opposite, 'brittle' relates to fragility but not danger, and 'none of these' is incorrect since 'perilous' is a valid synonym.

The word 'circuitous' means indirect or roundabout. It describes something that is not direct, often taking a longer or winding path. Common synonyms include 'indirect', 'roundabout', 'meandering', 'winding', and 'tortuous'. Among the given options, 'Cyclic' is the closest in meaning as it relates to something circular or roundabout, which aligns with the idea of a circuitous path. 'Direct' is actually an antonym of 'circuitous', and 'Strong' and 'Weak' are unrelated in meaning. Therefore, the correct synonym from the options is 'Cyclic'.

The word 'exude' means to discharge or emit gradually, often used to describe liquids or smells coming out slowly. 'Ooze' is a synonym that also means to flow or leak out slowly, making it the correct choice.

The question asks for a pair where the first word is a number and the second word is a related term for a group or concept associated with that number. 'Ten' relates to 'decimal' (base 10), and similarly, 'two' relates to 'binary' (base 2). The other options do not match this numeric-to-concept relationship as precisely.
