hmmm, i did not mean to say that u had an axe to grind or ulterior motive. why would i think that. jus due to some other reasons i was planning to reduce my time on gs and i thought maybe Ramzan was a good time to start doing that, i had already thought of that a couple weeks ago but anyway its not a finalised decision yet. i just dint want u guys to think ive gone back on my commitment even if a silent one so i wanted to mention my thoughts in advance :)
anyways...
hmm...ok, im gona pm u the answers since u asked, but i dont think there's anything to feel bad abt even if u get them wrong, we're all tryna learn here isnt it, wat does it matter if someone gets something wrong. plus if i post them here they'll benefit everyone isnt it.
anyways, here are my tries for these...

hmmm
ur logic is correct but the answer u have given “presenter: award” also doesnt fit into that b/c a presenter GIVES [presents] an award, doesnt receive it. the athelete though always GETS the trophy.
soldier medal is correct b/c an athelete wins a trophy b/c of an accomplishment and a soldier wins a medal b/c of an accomplishment.
if u look at the choices below, only that seems to be correct.
ATHELETE: TROPHY
detective: badge
presenter: award
soldier: medal
better: stake
musician: instrument
hope that makes sense

asak Pakora,
here are the correct answers:
barefaced: shame
soldier: medal
elaborate: sketchy

how can soldier: medal be correct.
If you see the relationship between athelete: Trophy…
Ben johson ran the 100 meter race and stood first wining a trophy for his country.
Aziz bhatti sacrefised his life for his country getting the highest medal a soldier can get.
There is a clear difference between the two senntences .
A is about wining an event that will yield in 1 2 or 3 winning positions just like a presenters nominations where as sentence B is about showing chivilary in NO Specific Event and getting a award that is created just because of the persons actions (medal)???
What do You say ???

Pakora,
u r right there,
i think u were unclear abt the exact meanig of mealymouthed tho thats why maybe u got this wrong
mealymouthed * means " not plain and straightforward : DEVIOUS "
[for convenience u can check meanings from webster.com ]
so a person who is mealymouthed doesnt exactly lack “talent” its more like they lack honesty
so barefaced: shame is a more direct match with HEADLONG: FORETHOUGHT
hope that makes sense*
