English

The word 'trail' means to follow or chase something, making 'To chase' the correct synonym among the options provided.

The analogy is based on the relationship between a word and its meaning or expression. 'Thanks' is an expression of 'Gratitude,' so the correct analogy is 'Courtesy' as an expression of 'Manners.' Option C ('Protest : Resentment') does not have the same direct expression relationship.

The idiomatic expression 'boil down to' means to reduce something to its essential point or to mean 'to amount to' or 'to result in.' The sentence should be 'Our plan boils down to success' or 'boils down to succeeding' to be grammatically correct. The other options are not valid idioms or do not fit the context. Therefore, option C is correct as it contains the correct idiom 'boil down to.'

The word "busy" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence, as it directly expresses being engaged with tasks or activities. While "occupied" is similar, it is less commonly used in this context. "Hurried" and "active" do not fit as naturally in this sentence structure.

The correct preposition to complete the sentence is 'for' because 'opportunities for' is the standard collocation when referring to chances available to someone. 'With' does not fit grammatically in this context.

The word 'Incredible' means something that cannot be believed or is hard to believe, which directly matches the phrase 'That which can never be believed.' The other options do not convey this meaning.

"Never-never land" commonly refers to a fictional or dream-like place, often associated with fantasy or imagination, making "Dream land" the correct meaning.

The phrase 'superior to' is the correct English collocation used to compare two things, indicating that one is better than the other. Therefore, 'Congregational prayer is superior to optional prayer' is grammatically and semantically correct.

The phrase "hornet's nest" is an idiom that refers to a situation that is likely to cause trouble or provoke anger, hence a violent or troublesome situation. This matches option B.

The word "adipose" relates to or consists of fat, so its synonym is "fatty." The other options do not correctly match the meaning of "adipose."

The phrase "keeps on" is followed by the gerund form of the verb, so "watching" is correct. "She always keeps on watching dramas" is grammatically correct and natural.

The term 'extravagant' correctly describes a person who wastes money on luxury, as it means spending excessively or wastefully. 'Luxuriant' and 'luxurious' describe things rich in growth or luxury but not a person who wastes money. 'Stingy' means unwilling to spend money, which is the opposite.

The correct preposition to use with 'jealous' when indicating the object of jealousy is 'of'. Therefore, 'She is jealous of my friend.' is correct.

The phrase "a man of straw" refers to someone who lacks substance or strength, often used to describe a weak or insubstantial person. Therefore, option A, "A man of no substance," is the correct meaning.

The phrase 'to put one’s hand to the plough' means to begin a task with determination and commitment, often implying undertaking a difficult or challenging task. Therefore, option B is correct.

The idiom "an arm and a leg" means something is very expensive or costly, implying it costs a large amount of money. This matches option C exactly.

The phrase "keep at bay" means to keep something or someone at a distance or prevent them from approaching or causing harm, which matches option B.

The word 'dwarf' means something very small, so its antonym is 'giant,' which means something very large. Options B, C, and D are either synonyms or related words but do not directly serve as antonyms to 'dwarf.'

The correct preposition to use with 'scared' when indicating the cause of fear is 'of'. Therefore, 'She is scared of snake' is correct, though it should be 'a snake' for grammatical completeness.

The word 'Pacific' means peaceful or calm. The antonym should convey the opposite meaning. Among the options, 'Discordant' means conflicting or not in harmony, which is the closest antonym to 'Pacific'. 'Aggressive' and 'Hawkish' relate more to behavior or attitude, but 'Discordant' directly opposes the peaceful sense of 'Pacific'.

The word 'scurrilous' means making or spreading scandalous claims about someone with the intention of damaging their reputation, often involving abusive or vulgar language. Its antonym is 'decent,' which means conforming to standards of propriety and good taste, thus opposite in meaning to 'scurrilous.'

The idiom "beating a dead horse" means to continue to focus on or argue about something that has already been resolved or is no longer relevant, which matches option A.
