A “bystander” is someone who witnesses something happening, but is not involved, so "witness" is the best answer choice. A “prosecutor” is someone who tries to convict a criminal in court; a “guardian” is someone who protects someone else or something; a “philosopher” is someone who thinks about the nature of things, being, and knowledge; and a “demonstrator” is someone who is participating in a protest.

The word "inhabitant" comes from Latin roots meaning to live or to live in. For example, consider the sentence, "The twenty people inhabited a small plot of land in the hills, each having a private house." This means that the people lived on the land. These people could be called "inhabitants" of the hill property. Thus, among the options provided, the best answer is "occupant", which basically means "inhabitant."

An "accomplice" is often associated with crimes, but really applies to anyone that assists someone with an activity. It is almost always considered a negative activity. You wouldn't say, "I was Mrs. Turner's accomplice in cleaning the classroom." That would be considered a positive activity. You might say, "I was Sandra's accomplice when she pranked Mrs. Turner." An "accessory" can mean either an extra piece of clothing, like a scarf, or, in this case, it means an assistant to a crime. "Sean drove the get-away car in the robbery and was therefore an accessory to the crime."

A "mentor" is a teacher, an advisor, someone who provides guidance and advice to someone else with less experience. An "assistant" is someone who works for someone else and/or someone who helps someone else. "Partner" is not synonymous as it denotes an equal relationship, not one in which one party is more experienced or skilled than the other.

"Tyrant" is a noun that means either "a cruel and oppressive ruler" or "a person exercising power or control in a cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary way," so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "a cruel ruler." While "king" may seem like a good answer choice because a king is a kind of ruler, a king is not necessarily a cruel ruler like a tyrant is. "Despot," however, means "a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way." Because "despot" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "tyrant," "despot" is the correct answer.
