Best answer

Correct option 

1. B. detailed 

2. C. cancel

3. A. first

4  D. tired

5. B. fake

Explanation:

1. Here “minute” is an adverb that modifies the verb “examination”. “Minute” means tiny or small but the word also means systematic or detailed. With respect to the given context, since the experts examined minutely, “detailed” expresses the meaning of the word. Thus, option B is the correct answer. 

2. Repeal— cancel; invalidate 

Suppress— to put down by authority or force; subdue Amend— change; modify Withhold— restrain; suppress Thus, “cancel” is the synonym of “repeal” and option C is the correct answer. 

3. The word “maiden” carries two meanings i. An unmarried girl or woman ii. Being or involving the first attempt or act of its kind The given sentence talks about the maiden appearance of a person on the screen, thus, the second meaning fits appropriately. Hence, option A, “first”, is the correct answer. 

4. Exhausted means tired, thus, option D is the correct answer. 

5. Counterfeit— fake, made to look like the original of something 

Unmatured— not yet matured 

Inferior— lower in rank, status, or quality 

Clearly, option B is the correct answer.
