Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Match “Eloquent.” “Eloquent” means: \[ \text{Fluent or persuasive in speaking} \] Thus: \[ 1 \rightarrow P \]

Step 2: Match “Vivacious.” “Vivacious” means: \[ \text{Lively, energetic, and animated} \] Thus: \[ 2 \rightarrow R \]

Step 3: Match “Odious.” “Odious” means: \[ \text{Extremely unpleasant or hateful} \] Thus: \[ 3 \rightarrow Q \]

Step 4: Match “Penchant.” “Penchant” means: \[ \text{A strong liking or preference} \] Thus: \[ 4 \rightarrow S \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{1-P,\ 2-R,\ 3-Q,\ 4-S} \]
