Since the sentence says nothing about Theobald's health, do not infer more than is justified by the strict sense of the sentence. Apparently, he had to rest all day, meaning that he was tired in some way. Therefore, if he "still" (i.e. continues) to feel anything, he feels like he still needs rest. His lack of strength should only be attributed to that and nothing else. Among the options provided, only "fatigued" fits, for it means extremely tired.

The use of the conjunction “but” indicates that the subject of this sentence does not have concrete plans. We can say that his plans are hazy or unclear. This is most similar in meaning to “nebulous.” To provide further help, “precise” means accurate; “genteel” means polite; “obsolete” means no longer useful, outdated; “novel” means original. 

Because people rushed to buy the water bottles, it stands to reasons that the supply of them would be diminished or exhausted, both of which are meanings of “depleted.” “Enhanced” means improved; "decorated" means adorned or honored; "misplaced" means lost; and "expedited" means hastened.

We can infer from the sentence's context that we need to pick out a word for the first blank that means something like "not realistic," because the type of art that the blank describes is being contrasted against "art which clearly depicts recognizable figures and objects." Given that, the best answer choice is "amorphous," an adjective that means "without a clearly defined shape or form."

Because the subject of this sentence had a large amount of money (“a fortune”) but was later reduced to poverty, it can be determined that he must have wasted, or “squandered,” his fortune. “Invested” means spend money with the expectation of making more money back; “throttled” means strangled; “uttered” means spoke; and “adorned” means decorated with.

Because the subject is going to have to get used to (“accustomed to”) hospitals, you can infer that she must be vulnerable, or “susceptible,” to infection. As for the other answer choices, “immutable” means not changing or not changeable; “immune” means not susceptible or not able to be affected by; “parallel” means running along side, analogous, or corresponding; and "particular" means specific or notable.

When you are not given a choice about something or are forced to do something, that thing is considered “obligatory.” Because people in some democracies are forced to vote, the correct answer is that in these situations, voting is “obligatory.” “Prohibited” means against the rules; "encouraged" means supported and promoted; “permitted” means allowed; and “inhabited” means lived in.

Because the family had to move out of their house and apply for money from the government (“benefits”), you can determine that the correct answer must mean impoverished or very poor. So, the correct answer is “destitute.” As for the other answer choices, “solvent” means having money after paying what one owes others; it is an antonym of “destitute.” “Astute” means clever and perceptive; “melancholy” means sad and thoughtful; and "frustrated" means annoyed or vexed.

Because the author is put at peace and helped to think by classical music, it is reasonable to conclude that he or she must like it. “Affinity” means inclination towards liking something, so this is the best answer choice. As for the other answer choices, “loathing” means hatred; “detachment” means state or act of being disconnected, distant, and not attached to people or ideas; “novelty” means newness; and "concern," when used as a noun, means worry.

The sentence expresses that Mary's normal sense of fear was even stronger this week. This is hinted at by the expression "even more." You might be tempted to choose "despair," but this word is not a stronger form of fear. Fear might cause someone to despair, but that is not the same as "particularly strong fear." The best option among those provided is "dread," which does indicate a strong sense of fear.
