Answer 2

The correct answers are:

• Ardor: Passion (D)

"Ardor" refers to an intense devotion, eagerness, or enthusiasm for something or someone. Therefore, it can be described as "passion."

• Sage = Wise (A)

A "sage" is a person with great knowledge which was acquired through experiences, so it is a synonym of "wise."

• Contending = Competing (F)

"Contending"comes from the verb "conted," which means to compete in order to win something.

• Prodigious = Enormous (C)

Something "prodigious" is defined as great in bulk, quantity, or degree

• Foreboding = Sinister; Threatening (H)

"Foreboding" is an omen, prediction, or presentiment especially of coming evil and could, therefore, be definided as sinister or threatening.
