(1)A
definitive-means sth that defines or gives a definition of sth
definite- on the other hand means sth that is certain and cannot be changed,irrevocable, so it has to be definite
equitable-means sth that is fair and just without partiality, used more in sense of decisions and judgement,policies etc.
equable-means anything that is moderate and does not show extremes...so distribition of wealth has to equable and not equitable
esoteric and luxuriant are quite clear on their own i guess:);)
(2)A
here almost all the ansswers are obvious...i only find the pathos/bathos confusing,...if anyone has an explanation for it then do post it:)
set-7
1)none of the options actually match properly coz i'm sure that for the first and the last one both have to be A ...indict means to incriminate/to charge sb of a crime...u can never indict the reasons for support..................
indite on the other hand means to put forward ur views, to say sth, describe sth etc....so it has to be indite
out of Affect /effect i guess its pretty obvious...

Quite significant.
'pathos' invokes emotions, 'bathos' involves unpleasantness or 'trying' wit.

Most certainly it's E.
Correct usage of inhabits holds the key. Inhabit means to occupy or live in. As in: For years, the British inhabited many parts of India.
And not: inhabited in/within/along/on India.
Hope you getting the drift?
Revert, please, if doubt still persists.
