English

The antonym of 'foremost' (meaning first in rank or position) is 'hindmost' (meaning last or at the back). While 'unimportant' may imply lesser significance, it is not a direct antonym of 'foremost' in terms of position or order.

The word 'vagrant' means a person who wanders from place to place without a fixed home, so 'roving' is a suitable synonym. The other options do not convey this meaning.

The word 'pique' means a feeling of irritation or resentment, so its antonym is 'joy,' which represents happiness and pleasure. The other options (hurt, irk, huff) are synonyms or related to feelings of annoyance, not opposites.

A symphony is created by a composer, just as a fresco is created by a painter. Both pairs show a creator and their creation, making option B the correct analogy.

All four words (Deal, Seal, Zeal, Meal) rhyme perfectly with the long 'e' vowel sound followed by 'l' (/iːl/). They all share the same ending sound and pronunciation. The odd one out is 'Zeal' because it differs in meaning from the others, which are more commonly associated with tangible or concrete things (Deal - an agreement, Seal - an animal or a stamp, Meal - food), whereas 'Zeal' refers to enthusiasm or passion, an abstract concept. Therefore, 'Zeal' does not belong to the group based on meaning, not pronunciation.

Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that studies the sounds of human speech, including their production, transmission, and perception. Therefore, 'Study of speech sounds' is the correct definition.

Flaming occurs when a person sends messages with angry or antagonistic content, often in emails or online forums. This matches option A, 'Flaming Email.' The other options do not relate to angry or hostile messages.

The word 'indubitably' means 'without a doubt' or 'undoubtedly.' None of the options A (apparent), B (controversial), or C (doubtful) are synonyms of 'indubitably.' Therefore, the correct answer is D ('None of these').

The antonym of 'drought' (a prolonged period of dryness) is 'surplus', which implies an excess or abundance, often of water or resources. The other options do not represent opposites of drought.

Option A is the grammatically correct sentence. It uses the proper passive construction 'should be sent.' Option B is incorrect because 'send' should be in past participle form 'sent.' Option C is incomplete and ungrammatical. Option D is incorrect because option A is correct.
