The word you haven't used is "unquestioning" (f). So look up these words in the thesaurus: auspicious, implicit, unquestioning, promising.

What do you think?
so 4 will be 'i'
and 10 will be 'f' ?
Right.
To determine the correct answers for question #4 and #10, we can use the process of elimination and context clues.
1. adamant - unyielding
2. pathetic - pitiful
3. tangible - real
4. auspicious - This word implies something promising or favorable. "I" could be a possible answer, but let's examine the other options.
5. altruistic - unselfish
6. flippant - impudent
7. incorrigible - unmanageable
8. indolent - lazy
9. precarious - uncertain
10. implicit - This word suggests something unquestioning or implied. "I" seems like a possible answer, but let's consider the remaining options.
Based on the context and clues provided, the correct answers are:
4. auspicious - promising
10. implicit - unquestioning
Now let's update the list:
1. adamant - unyielding
2. pathetic - pitiful
3. tangible - real
4. auspicious - promising
5. altruistic - unselfish
6. flippant - impudent
7. incorrigible - unmanageable
