Destitute is the antonym of wealthy. Among the given options, graceful is the antonym of tacky.

The answer is option C.

taciturn - reserved or uncommunicative in speech

voluble - talking fluently

taciturn is the antonym of voluble. Among the given options, work is the antonym of indolence.

The answer is option A.

redolent - full of specified fragrance

Among the given options, option D is the appropriate one.

The answer is option D.

The second part of the sentence says, "the spacecraft was finally launched successfully."

This means that the previous attempts were not successful.

Hence, option B is the most suitable answer.

The tone of the sentence suggests that the "need to provide food and medical supplies" is more important than any other.

Option A: This word relates to subsistence, meaning barely surviving or self-sustaining. It doesn’t fit the context of prioritizing issues.

Option B: This is a geometric term meaning to extend under or opposite to (e.g., an angle or arc). It’s not relevant here

Option C: This means to include or absorb something into a larger category. While it might seem close, it doesn’t convey the sense of priority needed in the sentence. 

Option D: "Subsidiary" means secondary or less important in relation to something else. This will provide the required meaning to the sentence.

Hence, the answer is option D.

The tone of the sentence indicates that the words in both the blanks will be opposite in meaning, with the first one having a negative and the second one, having a positive tone.

Thus, options A and B can be dismissed.

"assimilative" means the tendency to absorb. Thus, it does not fit with the context of the sentence. 

Option D is the best choice for the answer.

The second part of the sentence talks about the workers being "disillusioned" by the management. Thus, the second blank will have a negative word. Thus, options A and B are rejected.

For the first blank, "iniquitous" [grossly unfair and morally wrong] is a better option than "discriminatory", as it will compliment the sentiment expressed in the second part.

Alternate: "Iniquitous" means unjust or morally wrong, which fits the context of a decision that upset the workers.

"Discontent" means dissatisfaction or unhappiness, which logically follows from an unjust decision.

Hence, the answer is option C.

Since the sentence is talking about the prices of "essential commodities," the best choice for the first blank is "regulate," as governments and authorities typically regulate the prices of essential goods to ensure affordability and stability.

For the second blank, "buoyant" (which means optimistic or positive) is the best fit because proper price regulation often results in a stable and optimistic economic atmosphere.

Thus, the best choice is Option A: "Regulate, buoyant."

The sentence is about political parties and what they do. In line with the sentence, option B is the best choice to fill the blanks, as political parties do not find or bring or create political power.

"Travesty" is a negative word. Thus, options B and C can be dismissed.

Among A and D, "Mockery" is a better choice in the context of the sentence.

Hence, the answer is option A.
