Question 2

Participants in the major procession of the carnival, which passed through the capital city, wore colorful and _____ attire.

Accepted Answer

Flamboyant

Answer

"Flamboyant" means showy, brightly colored, and elaborate, which perfectly matches the "colorful" carnival attire. "Somber" and "dull" mean the opposite (drab and muted), and "indolence" is a noun meaning laziness, so it doesn't fit grammatically or in meaning.

Question 3

What word pairs are the opposites of "predominant"?

Accepted Answer

Subsidiary

Answer

"Predominant" means main, strongest, or most important, so its opposite is "subsidiary," meaning secondary or of lesser importance. "Principal" and "paramount" are synonyms of predominant, not opposites, and "dormant" (inactive) is unrelated to dominance.

Question 4

Work-life balance schemes in the workplace have been __________ by employees, as they increase morale and ________ at work.

Accepted Answer

applauded, motivation

Answer

The passive construction "have been ______ by employees" requires the past participle "applauded," and "increase morale and ______" needs a noun parallel to "morale," which is "motivation." The forms "applaud" (wrong tense) and "motivated" (adjective, not parallel to the noun morale) break the sentence's grammar.

Question 5

As BACON is to __, CAKE is to a BAKER.

Accepted Answer

Butcher

Answer

The analogy is occupational: a baker is the tradesperson who makes and sells cake, so the matching trade for bacon is a butcher. A farmer raises animals but doesn't produce bacon, and a winemaker or caretaker have no connection to making bacon.
