Explanation:

Question 10 (assuming the first sentence is a fill - in - the - blank question)

The sentence means that old ideas can't be made fresh just by using modern slang. The word "rejuvenated" means to make something look or feel young, fresh, or lively again. So the word that fits here is "rejuvenated" as it conveys the idea of bringing back the vitality of old ideas in a modern way.

The sentence says that the speaker's crackpot (crazy or foolish) ideas are hard to take because of his very intense enthusiasm. The word "rabid" can be used to describe an intense or fanatical enthusiasm. So "rabid" fits here as it modifies "enthusiasm" to show the extreme nature of it.

An unwillingness to listen to suggestions from others is a serious disadvantage for a leader. The word "liability" means a person or thing that is a disadvantage or a cause of trouble. So "liability" is the appropriate word here as it describes the negative impact of not listening to suggestions.

Answer:

rejuvenated
