The above explanations are correct.

Answer 2

1. The correct answer is A. eloquent.
When somebody is eloquent, it means that they can speak very nicely and that they know their way around words. However, this word doesn't only apply to people - it can be used to describe other things, like a face, in the example above. If a face is eloquent, it can tell you a look just by looking at it and its features.

2. The correct answer is D. visage.
The word visage comes from Latin verb videre, which means to see. Over time, it was incorporated into English, where it got the meaning of somebody's face. Visage can refer to a face with all of its features, or sometimes only to facial expressions.
