Several of the proposed answers attempt to get you to confuse "furtive" with "fervent." The latter word means passionate and fierce. The word _"_furtive" actually comes from the Latin word for "thief". A thief acts under the cover of darkness and behaves secretively. Thus, when something is "furtive" it is secret or hidden. Therefore, the best option among those provided is "hidden."

"Capricious" means changing one's mood in a fickle, unpredictable manner, so the answer choice that is its best synonym is "fickle," or changing frequently.

The word "affluent" does have roots that mean to flow. While this meaning was once upon a time reflected in the word, it no longer is used in this manner. Instead, the word means wealthy—as though someone is "flowing" with money. Thus, the only option that is appropriate is "prosperous." (Note that "mobile" is not the same as flowing. A walking person is mobile—yet is not flowing, strictly speaking.)

"Stipple" and "dapple" both mean to mark with numerous small dots or marks. "Stupefy" means to stun or astonish. "Surmise" means to come to a conclusion. "Transmute" means to convert or alter. "Vilify" means to criticize over harshly.

The adjective "adamant" is etymologically related to the word "diamond"—the hardest stone. Someone who is "adamant" is "hard" in the sense of being relentless, unyielding, or insistent.

When something "meanders" it moves in a way that is not direct but, instead, zigzags from one point to another. Now, this can be used to describe physical motion ("meandering in the fields"). It can also be used to describe something physical and motionless, like a path that zigzags and thus is said to "meander." Finally, it can be used to describe things like thought processes. Someone's "meandering thoughts" circle about, considering different things for some time before finally resting in a conclusion. Thus, the word "circuitous" works well as a synonym. This word comes from roots meaning circle or around. "Circuitous" reasoning is a kind of thinking that takes a much longer time to arrive at its end than is strictly necessary. A circuitous path is one that meanders quite a bit before reaching its destination.

The word “myriad” is derived from the Greek for "10,000." In general, it is used to describe a countless multitude of things. For that reason, the best option among the provided answers is “innumerable.” An example usage would be, “Roger wished to do something so foolish that his friends were able to provide him with myriad reasons, overwhelming him with reasons for making such a stupid choice.”

"Salutary" means promoting health, advantageous, beneficial. To provide further help, "premeditated" means planned; "feisty" means surprisingly tough; "dire" means a bad situation, desperate; "reluctant" means unwilling, not wanting to do something.

Something that is "revolting" is disgusting. Now, this could also be the present participle of the verb "revolt," meaning to rebel, butnone of the options presented match that meaning. Therefore, we are looking for something that is akin to "disgusting."
