• A. Box
• B. Oyster

• A. Acquire
• B. Successor

• A. Ribs
• B. Trachea

• A. Chapters

• A. Vegetation
• B. Farm
• C. Fertile
• D. Inhabited

Explanation: Bald and blond are commonly used to describe a person’s hair or head appearance, while barren commonly describes an unproductive farm. “Fertile” is the opposite of barren, not its associated noun.

• A. Allergy
• B. Headache
• C. Anthrax
• D. Contamination

• A. Observe
