Qn	Answer	Explanation
1	b) By whom were you taught grammar?	Passive voice of a question starting with "Who" changes to "By whom" + correct auxiliary + subject + V3.
2	b) You must cut down your expenditure.	“Cut down” means to reduce, which fits the context of controlling spending.
3	b) normal	"Bizarre" means strange or unusual; the opposite is "normal".
4	d) Drone	The masculine gender of a bee is "drone".
5	a) Acclimatize and Accustom	Both mean to adjust or get used to a situation.
6	d) inside	“Inside” refers to something within a person, fitting the idea of hidden treasure in a student.
7	b) Abhor	"Laud" means praise; "Abhor" means hate — they are opposites.

9	a) Steady	“Unwavering” means steady or constant.
10	b) Sovereignty	Correct spelling of the word meaning supreme power or authority.
