Please don't be rude to me. If you don't want to answer, then don't. I don't need negative attitudes.

A is three words, anti, thesis, and foil.
B is two words, literary and foil. You need to combine the best definition for all. Also, it would help to focus on what type of course these words apply to. Are you in an engineering class? Which type? On second thought perhaps your in a writing class?

Foil just do not seem to fit with this two words. May be you're reading some sort of sci-fi books or something. The authors of these books seems to be really good of coming up with the strange words or phrases.

foil as used as something that thwarts (counters) it:
1.To prevent from being successful; thwart. See synonyms at FRUSTRATE.
2.To obscure or confuse (a trail or scent) so as to evade pursuers.
This is used in conjunction with the words where you can easily look up their meaning
