Q:

In the question below, there is a word given in bold which is followed by five options. In each of the options, a pair of words is given which is either the pair of synonyms or antonyms or synonym & antonym of the word given in bold. Choose that pair as your answer.

Recalcitrant

A) Peculiar, Convivial B) Amenable, Docile
C) Taciturn, Withering D) Voluble, Turgid
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Amenable, Docile

Explanation:

The meanings of the given words are as follows:
Recalcitrant: having an obstinately uncooperative attitude towards authority or discipline
Peculiar: different to what is normal or
expected; strange Convivial: (of an atmosphere or event) friendly, lively, and enjoyable
Amenable: open and responsive to suggestion; easily persuaded or controlled
Docile: ready to accept control or instruction; submissive
Taciturn: (of a person) reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little
Withering: intended to make someone feel humiliated; scornful
Voluble: (of a person) talking fluently, readily, or incessantly
Turgid: swollen and distended or congested
Pendulous: hanging down loosely
Jocular: fond of or characterized by joking; humorous or playful
Therefore, it can be observed that option B i.e. ‘amenable, docile’ forms an antonym- antonym pair of ‘recalcitrant’.

B) Efforts were intensified by the Trump administration to crack down the sanctuary cities that refused to comply with federal immigration authorities.
C) The so-called sanctuary cities that refused to abide by the federal immigration authorities will be cracked down by the intensified efforts of the Trump administration. D) Federal immigration authorities must be complied into by sanctuary cities if the efforts of the Trump Administration must be intensified.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Federal immigration authorities must be complied into by sanctuary cities if the efforts of the Trump Administration must be intensified.

We have to find the incorrect statement. All the sentences except D have been correctly structured. In option D, the phrase ‘complied into by’ is incorrect. You "comply with" a rule or a law and not by cities.
