Explanation:

Response
II. Definitions

To solve this, we match each phrase to the correct boldface word by understanding their meanings:

  • 6. "to satisfy the needs of" matches "cater" (as "cater" means to provide what is needed or desired).
  • 7. "to grease or oil" matches "lubricate" (since lubricating involves applying grease or oil).
  • 8. "killing of one person by another" matches "homicide" (homicide is the act of one person killing another).
  • 9. "a government in power" matches "regime" (a regime refers to a government, especially one in power).
III. Synonyms

We find the word with the same meaning as the boldface word:

  • 10. "firebrand" means a person who is passionate and often causes trouble, similar to "hothead" (option c). "Collaborator" is someone who works with others, "leader" is a person in charge, "inventor" creates things—so c is correct.
  • 11. "indignant" means angry or outraged, so "outraged" (option a) is the synonym. "Sorrowful" is sad, "excellent" is good, "delighted" is happy—so a is correct.
  • 12. "entrepreneur" is a businessperson (option b). A family doctor, estate lawyer, or local politician don't mean the same as entrepreneur—so b is correct.
  • 13. "hinder" means to stop or restrain, so "restrain" (option d) is the synonym. "Hasten" is to speed up, "describe" is to tell about, "record" is to note down—so d is correct.
  • 14. "indispensable" means necessary or crucial, so "crucial" (option d) is the synonym. "New" is recent, "nonessential" is not needed, "expensive" is costly—so d is correct.
  • 15. "transparent" means clear (option b). "Frosted" is opaque, "thick" is not thin, "flexible" is bendable—so b is correct.
  • 16. "unscathed" means unharmed (option c). "Depressed" is sad, "overjoyed" is very happy, "confused" is puzzled—so c is correct.
IV. Antonyms

We find the word with the opposite meaning of the boldface word:

  • 17. "available" means accessible, so its opposite is "unobtainable" (option b). "Startling" is surprising, "misleading" is deceptive, "necessary" is needed—so b is correct.
  • 18. "customary" means routine or usual, so its opposite is "irregular" (option d). "Careless" is not careful, "routine" is usual (synonym), "difficult" is hard—so d is correct.
  • 19. "indifference" means lack of interest, so its opposite is "enthusiasm" (option a). "Ambition" is a goal, "regret" is sorrow, "remorse" is guilt—so a is correct.
  • 20. "poised" means calm and composed, so its opposite is "nervous" (option b). "Glum" is sad, "calm" is a synonym, "unwell" is sick—so b is correct.
