Question :6

PUNCTILIOUS

Answer: (a)

'Punctilious' is being strict or exact in the observance of rules of conduct, action, etc. Its opposite would be 'irregular'—not conforming to established arrangement, rules, etc. 'Careless' implies not thinking about what one does, so that one tends to make mistakes.

Question :7

INIMICAL

Answer: (a)

Question :8

CRITICISE

Answer: (d)

Question :9

RELIGIOUS

Answer: (a)

The essential criterion of being religious is to believe in god. 'Atheistic' is not believing in god. 'Secular' refers to 'not concerned with or relating to religion'. It would be the exact antonym of 'sacred'.

Question :10

LEAP

Answer: (a)

To 'leap' is to jump through the air from one point to another; it refers to a 'sudden and decisive' increase figuratively, ( a leap in profits, leap to stardom etc.) 'Plunge' refers to a 'sudden decrease'. So (a) would be the answer. But 'sink' refers to a fall or drop that is 'gradual'. 'Fall' is a general term. 'Immerse' conveys the meaning of 'deep involvement or absorption'.
