The word "party" can mean "celebration" or, in this case, it can refer to a "group" of people: "Your party is ready to be seated." Note that all of the other answer choices are closely related, referring to ceremonies held when a person dies. "Death" is perhaps the most obvious word to cross out in your process of elimination.

The word "tone" can be used to describe the quality of a "sound." These words are closest in meaning. The other answer choices really have nothing to do with the correct answer choice. They refer primarily to health and the human body. "Frame," for example, refers to the shape of someone's body.

The word "picture" can be used as a verb meaning to "imagine" something: "Picture yourself on a beach in Hawaii." The other words have to do with artistic production. Although a word like "draw" makes sense when we say something like "draw a picture," the verb "draw" does not mean the same as the verb "picture."

The word "mind" is synonymous with "care." Consider how you might use these words in a sentence. "I don't mind" and "I don't care" both mean the same thing. The other answer choices are completely unrelated to the word "mind." The word "mine" might seem to have a similar root; however, consider all the possible meanings you know for the word "mine." Is there any direct connection between the word "mine" and the word "mind"? There is not.

The verbs "mine" and "dig" are synonymous. "Digging" into the earth to look for precious metals or other minerals is referred to as "mining." Note that all of the other options are possessive pronouns. They all refer to something as belonging to someone else. If I use the possessive pronoun "mine," I do so to refer to something that belongs to me (not someone else).

The nouns "fine" and "penalty" are closest in meaning. A "penalty" is a punishment imposed on someone for their wrongdoing. A "fine" is a financial punishment. The adjective "fine" means something very different. Consider the following sentences: "He feels fine" vs. "He had to pay a fine for running the stop sign." Note that none of the remaining answer choices are synonymous with the word "fine" (neither as an adjective nor as a noun).

The verbs "tape" and "paste" are closest in meaning. Both words refer the action of combining two things using an adhesive or sticky material. The other words are related to videography or filmmaking. A "cut," in film, can refer to a sudden change of a shot. Words with multiple meanings can be tricky; look for a clear relationship between the meaning of the words.

The noun "change" is closest in meaning to "alteration." These words are synonymous. All of the other answer choices are a) not related to the word "change" and b) closely related to each other. If you recognize all of the answer choices that mean nearly the same thing to each other, you can easily find the answer choice that stands out as being unrelated to the other incorrect choices. 

Note that the words "zone," "district," "area," and "region" are all very closely related in meaning. Notice that they are all nouns. This is a good indication that the word "hit" should be understood as a noun (meaning success), instead of a verb (meaning to harm something physically). "Hit" and "success" are synonyms: "The song was a hit!". The other words are not related to the word "hit."

The nouns "share" and "part" are synonymous: "he took his share of the money and put part of it in the bank." The other answer choice are all adjectives describing time. "Punctual" and "on-time" are very closely related. "Late" and "early" are antonyms. None of these adjectives are related to the noun "share."
