5.Ambiguity: Misapprehension
a)misbehaviour:aberration
b)insult:animosity
c)tool:reparation
d)largesse: remuneration

Answer 1

1) d (notice the 2 words are synonyms--that's the secret here)
2) a (a bivouac is a camp site)
3) b (you need to know that a leviathan is known for its huge size, just like a savant is known for his/her large knowledge)
4) c (a dolphin is a member of the cetacean group, just as a monkey is a member of the primate group; this is a common relationhip that you'll see in analogy questions)
5) probably the hardest one in the list, so let's narrow it down: a) makes no sense--the words have no relationship; c) has the same problem; d) honestly, I don't know what largesse means. But I do know that ambiguity can result in misapprehension, just like an insult can provoke animosity. So I would say the answer is b).
