“Transact” is a verb that means “conduct or carry out (business),” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “carry out.” That means that “neglect” cannot be the correct answer, because “neglect” can mean “fail to do something” when used with an infinitive, making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “transact.” “Perform,” however, is a verb that means “carry out, accomplish, or fulfill (an action, task, or function),” and because “perform” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “transact,” “perform” is the correct answer.

"Enroll" is a verb that means "to become a member of or a participant in," so we need to pick out another word that means "to become a member of." While "enroll" sounds like "roll" and "roll" and "spin" are close in meaning, "enroll" does not mean the same thing as "roll," so "spin" cannot be the correct answer. "Matriculate," however, means "to enroll as a member of a body, especially of a college or university." Since "matriculate" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "enroll," "matriculate" is the correct answer.

"Transpire" is a verb that means "happen," so we need to pick out another word that means "happen." While "transpire" sounds like "perspire," which means "to sweat," "sweat" is not the answer because while "transpire" and "perspire" sound alike, they have very different meanings. "Occur," however, means "happen; take place," and because it is the answer choice closest in meaning to "transpire," it is the correct answer.

“Abjure” means give up or renounce, so "give up" is the correct answer. The prefix "ab-" is often related to the act of giving something up, as in the word “abdicate,” which means to give up the throne.
