English

The word "infinite" means without limits or endless. Among the options, "endless" is the closest synonym, as it directly conveys the idea of having no end or limit.

The word "virago" refers to a domineering, violent, or bad-tempered woman, which is synonymous with "shrew." The other options do not match this meaning.

The word "demise" primarily means death or the end of something. While it is often used to refer to death, it can also mean the termination or end of an institution or thing. Among the given options, "dismissal" (meaning removal or termination) is the closest synonym to "demise" in the sense of an ending or termination. The other options (residence, accident, act) do not relate to the meaning of "demise." Therefore, "dismissal" is the best available synonym here.

Option D correctly converts the active sentence into passive voice using the past simple tense: 'They broke up the table' becomes 'The table was broken up by them.' The other options are grammatically incorrect or use wrong tenses.

The correct preposition to use with 'translate' when indicating the target language is 'into'. Therefore, 'Translate this passage into English.' is correct.

The word 'pastime' refers to an activity done for enjoyment and relaxation, which is synonymous with 'recreation'. The other options do not convey this meaning.

The word "diligent" means showing careful and persistent effort or hard work. Therefore, "Hardworking" is the correct synonym. The other options do not match the meaning of "diligent."

The correct preposition to use with 'buttons' and 'dress' is 'on' because buttons are attached to the surface of the dress. 'In', 'at', and 'over' do not correctly describe this placement.

The word "mollify" means to soothe or appease someone's anger or anxiety. Among the options, "appease" is the closest synonym, meaning to calm or pacify. "Sweeten" can mean to make sweeter but is less precise, while "applaud" and "worry" are unrelated.

The word "subterranean" means existing, occurring, or done under the earth's surface, so its synonym is "underground." The other options do not convey the same meaning.

The correct preposition to use with 'covered' in this context is 'with', as in 'Head is covered with hair.' This is the standard and grammatically correct phrase.

The word 'tenacity' means the quality of being persistent and determined. Among the options, 'persistence' is the correct synonym, while the others do not relate to the meaning of tenacity.

The word "intractable" means difficult to manage or control, so the synonym "hard to manage" is correct. The other options do not match the meaning of "intractable."

The word 'vestige' means a trace or remnant of something that is disappearing or no longer exists, making 'trace' the correct synonym.

The correct preposition to use with 'succeeded' when indicating the achievement of an action is 'in'. The phrase 'succeeded in killing the tiger' is the proper and idiomatic expression. The options 'by', 'with', and 'on' are not used with 'succeeded' in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (in).

The correct preposition to use with 'congratulate' when referring to an achievement is 'on'. Hence, 'We congratulate you on your achievement.' is correct.

The correct preposition to complete the phrase is 'over,' as in 'He got over his illness,' which means he recovered from it. The other options do not fit idiomatically in this context.

The correct preposition to complete the phrase 'heir _____ the throne' is 'to'. The phrase 'heir to the throne' is a standard English collocation indicating the person next in line for the throne.

The phrase 'broken away from' is a common English phrasal verb meaning to separate or distance oneself from someone or something. The correct preposition to complete the phrase is 'away,' forming 'broken away from his old friends.' The option 'with' does not fit grammatically or idiomatically in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C' (away).

The sentence 'Sana! Please _____ a tea?' is an incomplete and somewhat awkward request. Among the options, the verb 'Put' (option D) is the most grammatically appropriate to complete the sentence in a polite imperative form, as in 'Please put a tea.' However, this phrase is still unusual in English. More natural polite requests would be 'Please have a tea,' 'Please make a tea,' or 'Please bring a tea.' The option 'Have' (C) does not fit well here because 'have a tea' is not typically used as a command or request to someone else to make or bring tea. 'Taken' and 'Drank' are past tense verbs and do not fit the imperative or request form. Therefore, 'Put' is the best fit among the given options, though the sentence itself is awkward and would benefit from rephrasing for naturalness.

The word 'penury' means extreme poverty or destitution. Among the options, 'poverty' is the synonym that matches this meaning. 'Custom' relates to traditions, 'numismatics' is the study of coins, and 'affluence' means wealth, which is the opposite of penury.

The word "blissful" means extremely happy or joyful. "Beatific" similarly means showing or producing bliss or happiness, making it the correct synonym.

The phrase 'I don’t see any point in...' is a common English idiom used to express that something seems unnecessary or lacks purpose. Among the options, 'point' fits best in this context, making option D correct.

The word 'retrospect' means looking back or reviewing past events, so the synonym 'review of the past' correctly matches its meaning.
