“Eerie” is an adjective that means weird and scary. That means that “tranquil” cannot be the correct answer, because “tranquil” means calm, a meaning very distant from that of “eerie.” “Uncanny,” however, is an adjective that means perplexing and odd and because “uncanny” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “eerie,” “uncanny” is the correct answer.

"Blatant" means flagrant or performed openly, so "flagrant" is the correct answer. "Shrouded" is an antonym of "blatant" and "flagrant"; it means concealed or hidden from open view. "Gloomy" means sad or depresssed. "Ecstatic" means extremely happy. "Urban" means having to do with a city environment in contrast to a rural environment.

"Desperate" means "hopeless." "Studious"  means studying hard and working hard in academic pursuits. "Healthy" means in good health and free from illnesses. "Courageous" means brave. "Reliable" means dependable and responsible.

Dismal means miserable.

"Illicit" is an adjective that means "forbidden by law, rules, or custom," so we need to pick out another word that means "forbidden." While "condoned" might sound like a potentially correct answer, "condoned" means "accepted and allowed to continue" and used of things that are morally wrong or offensive, "condoned" does not mean the same thing as "illicit," so it cannot be the correct answer. Since "illegal" means "contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law," "illegal" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "illicit" and the correct answer.

"Lucrative" means profitable or able to make a lot of money, so "profitable" is the correct answer. None of the other answer choices are close in meaning to "lucrative": "devoted" means loyal or dedicated; "widespread" means occurring in many different places; "current" means up-to-date or happening in the present; and "urban" means having to do with cities instead of the countryside.

"Egalitarian" means having to do with the idea that all people deserve to be treated equally, so the answer choice closest in meaning is "equal." As for the other answer choices, none are close in meaning to "equal": "equestrian" means having to do with riding horses; "crinkled" means wrinkled; "ideal" means conforming to one's idea of perfection or the best possible; and "swift" means speedy or quick.

"Impromptu" means unplanned, extemporaneous, off the cuff, or not scheduled in advance, so "unrehearsed," which means not rehearsed in advance, is the correct answer. "Planned" is an antonym of "impromptu"; it means organized or scheduled in advance. None of the other answer choices are close in meaning to "impromptu"; "athletic" means physically fit or having to do with athletes; "greedy" means overly concerned with the accumulation of money or other resources for oneself; and "faithful" means loyal and devoted.

If someone is “divisive” they cause a lot of disagreement between people and cause them to separate into different groups. "Divisive" shares a root with "division" and "divide." If you are “factious” then you are inclined to create and maintain small groups or factions. Do not mistake it for “fractious” which means causing trouble or hard to manage. To clarify, “undermined” means to make weaker or less effective, usually in a secret way; “determined” means working hard to achieve something; “regretful” means wishing you had not done something. 

"Intriguing," means to arousing curiosity or interest, so "interesting" is the best answer.
