they are synonyms; their meanings are nearly the same.

Explanation:

• For Question 13: "Boisterous" means noisy and energetic, while "obnoxious" means annoying. They are not antonyms. They are not cognates (cognates are words from the same etymological root in different languages). They are synonyms as they both describe negative - like qualities in a person's behavior (though not exactly the same, but nearly).
• For Question 14: "Outgoing" means sociable and friendly, while "reclusive" means withdrawn from society. They are clearly antonyms as their meanings are exact opposites.

Answer:

Question 13: They are synonyms; their meanings are nearly the same.
Question 14: They are antonyms; their meanings are the exact opposite of each other.
