A “controversy” is a disagreement where two or more people do not think the same thing has happened. Often a “controversy” is something that breaks the rules. The word “punishment” describes what is done to people who do bad things and get caught. An “instinct” is something you feel or do naturally; a “declaration” is a statement, a saying, of something; and a “supposition” is the act of believing something that has no proof or such a belief.

“Squalor” is dirt or “filth"; someone who lives in “squalor” lives in very dirty or filthy conditions. The word “baggage” describes something you carry with you, like a suitcase. The word “benefit” means something helpful. A “habitat” is the natural place where something lives, so a monkey’s “habitat” is the jungle.

“Anguish” is another word for pain or distress. If you “feel anguished,” you feel unhappy and in pain. "Pain" is thus the correct answer. As for the other answer choices, “elation” means deep happiness and is an antonym of “anguish.”

A “hardship” is something difficult you experience, so "difficulty" is the best answer choice. The word “reward” describes something you get for doing the right thing or doing something well; “companionship” is another word for friendship; and “punishment” is something bad that you receive because of something you did wrong.

The word “triumph” means win or victory. It is the opposite of “defeat,” which means loss. An “argument” is when you talk to someone and the two of you think different things are right and debate them, often in an angry way. The word “contend” means to argue or to express what you think. So, you might “contend” an “argument” and then be “defeated” or emerge “triumphant.”

A “brawl” is a physical fight, usually a chaotic one, so "fight" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "brawl." As for the other answer choices, a "deception" is a trick or lie that intentionally fools someone into believing something false; "protection" means defense or something that prevents its user from getting damaged or hurt; "punishment" is discipline for rules that you broke. While "brawl" may sound like "bawl," which means to cry loudly, "crying" isn't related to "brawl."

The "extent" of something is the physical area it covers, intensity, or "scope." The "ex-" prefix here means out, like in the word "exterior"; the combination of "ex-" and "-tent" may have led you to pick "outdoors." Similarly, if you thought of "exact" as being similar to "extent," you may have picked "precision." However, neither "outdoors" nor "precision" is close in meaning to "extent," so neither can be the correct answer.

"Vision” is another name for sight. “Sight” is the ability to see or what you see; “touch” is the ability to feel something's texture or solidity. These five answer choices are related to the five senses in humans.

A “narrative” is a story. As for the other answer choices, “industry” means the business and work of manufacturing in general, the field of manufacturing something specific, or the process of diligently working and being active; “moral” means a lesson a story teaches about what is right and wrong; “kin” means family; and a “banquet” is a feast or a fancy meal for many people.

"Regime" comes from the same Latin roots as "regal" (befitting or having the bearing of a monarch or ruler) and "regalia" (official, formal clothing and items that identify an important person like a ruler at official events). What do these words have in common? Both have to do with rulers, so it makes sense that "regime" means the rule of a government, often one controlled by one person or few people, making "government" the correct answer.
