Answer: (d)

Answer: (c)

'Even more than' or 'even more what' do not work as short phrases. 'Even more accurately' can but option (b) when placed in the blanks does not present a clear meaning. Option (c) suits the statement perfectly.

Answer: (d)

'Scurrilous' is 'grossly or obscenely abusive'. 'Exiguous', in option (c), means 'scanty' or 'small'. 'Eloquent' language may not be necessarily scanty in use of words. Option (b) has 'peripatetic' meaning 'itinerant', 'going from place to place on one's business'.

Answer: (c)

'Obese' refers to being very fat and 'corpulence' is 'bulkiness of body'. Unlike the other options, in (c), both the words have the same meaning. This is important in the context of what the sentence means. 'Domineering' and 'temperance' [option (d)], for instance, are somewhat opposite in sense and 'vacillating' and 'determination' [option (b)] mean opposite things.

Answer: (a)

An 'incorrigible' liar is one who is utterly given to lying and who cannot be easily improved. 'Plausible' (adj.) is 'seemingly reasonable or probable' but not really so. 'Congenial' means 'agreeable'. 'Convincing' and 'blatant' in options (d) and (b) will suit the first blank but 'illogical' and 'incongruous' in the same options will not suit the meaning of the given sentence.
