Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the definitions of the words to match. These are the following:

a witty saying expressing a single thought or observation

printed material, newspaper

merry; festive

an inhabitant

possibility

Answer:

A) Contingency: possibility

B) Rotogravure: printed material, newspaper

C) Denizen: an inhabitant

D) Convivial: merry; festive

E) Epigram: a witty saying expressing a single thought or observation

Step-by-step explanation:

The noun contingency refers to a future event which cannot be predicted with certainty. Rotogravure has to do with a printing system typically used to print magazines and stamps. A denizen is a resident of a particular place. The adjective convivial means that an atmosphere or event is friendly, cheerful and amusing. Finally, epigram is a brief ingenious comment that conveys an expression in an amusing and clever manner.
