FRESCO
Explanation: Fresco means a painting made on a wall or ceiling, especially on wet plaster, so mural is the best synonym. Bare wall is opposite in sense because it suggests a wall without painting. Silence is related to the antonym of siren, not fresco. Mansion is an antonym-related word for hovel and does not express the meaning of fresco.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
LOBBY
Explanation: Lobby means to try to influence a person, government, or organization to support a decision, so persuade is the correct synonym. Resist and discourage are opposite in meaning because they show refusal or opposition. Surrender is an antonym of joust and does not match the meaning of lobby.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
BLISS
Explanation: Bliss means perfect happiness or great joy, so delight is the most suitable synonym. Agony and sorrow are opposite in meaning because they express pain or sadness. Calm is related to the opposite of siren and does not correctly express the sense of great joy.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
STRAY
Explanation: Stray means to move away from the correct place, path, or group, and wander correctly expresses this meaning. Stay, remain, and follow are opposite in meaning because they suggest not moving away from the correct place or path. Therefore, wander is the best answer.

HOVEL

HALT
Explanation: Halt means to stop or bring something to a stop, so resume is the correct antonym because it means to start again or continue after stopping. Pause, cease, and stop are synonyms or near-synonyms of halt. Therefore, they cannot express the opposite meaning.
