An "appeal" is a formal request to a higher court or authority for a review and possible reversal of a decision made by a lower court or tribunal. In the context of the sentence, the governor is dissatisfied with the ruling of the tribunal and is taking legal action by filing an appeal. An appeal is a common legal term used when someone challenges a decision and seeks a reconsideration from a higher judicial body. The other options, such as "injunction," "objection," and "application," do not specifically convey the idea of seeking a review of a tribunal ruling.

Alight is the most appropriate word here because it specifically means to get off a vehicle such as a train, bus or horse. In standard English usage, passengers alight from a train.

The word chronicles refers to a detailed and factual written account of historical events, often arranged in chronological order. Since the sentence talks about discovering hidden aspects of a famous king through reading, chronicles fits best because they provide a comprehensive record of events and actions.

The sentence contrasts a past habit with a new action. Previously, the boys always “drew back in fear” when threatened (i.e., they recoiled).

Permission means consent or authorisation to do something. In a religious context, praying for the remission of sins is a common phrase meaning to ask for forgiveness.

The best answer is A. strong because it best describes an economy that has weathered a crisis and remained in a positive, resilient state. The other options do not capture this meaning as effectively. "Realistic" suggests the economy is grounded in facts, but does not necessarily indicate strength or resilience. "Tough" implies the economy has faced difficulties, but does not convey that it has remained stable. "Firm" suggests the economy has maintained a steady, unwavering state, which is similar to "strong" but not as concise and powerful a descriptor. Therefore, the correct answer is A. strong.
