Note that the blank space is followed by the preposition 'from'. The usage of all the other words except 'copy', will make the sentence grammatically incorrect. 'Copy' (verb) means to make a similar or identical version of something. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Other options are inappropriate for the given context. 

Skill means the ability to do something well; expertise.

Success means the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Achievement means a thing done successfully with effort, skill, or courage.

Labor means work hard; make great effort.

Priority means the fact or condition of being regarded or treated as more important than others.

Out of the given options, only option E fits the context of the statement and thus is the correct resonse.

We need a noun after the article 'a'.
Succumb- submit.
Sleazy- immoral.
Jaunty- cheerful.
Canard– a false or misleading report or story.
Revelation- a surprising and previously unknown fact that has been disclosed to others.
If a newspaper publishes a false story about a person, it will be sued. Thus, "canard" fits appropriately in the blank. So, the correct answer is option D.

Bemoan – express discontent or sorrow over

Succumb - fail to resist pressure, temptation, or some other negative force

Foment - instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action).

Befuddled - cause to become unable to think clearly.

Since Josh decided to look on the positive side rather than doing something else, he must have avoided doing something negative. Thus, "bemoan" is the most appropriate.

There is a prescribed format of conditional sentence:

Conditional verb , “had” is used with “would have”

Hence, option D is correct.

“Abolished” is a verb (past participle which can act as an adjective) and “abolition” is a noun. We need to describe the state of slavery (which has nearly been put to an end) so we need an adjective at (4). At (1), in accordance to the 'noun of noun' structure we need a noun. One can work towards the abolition of slavery and slavery can be left to be abolished. Thus, (1) and (4) must be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct. So, the correct answer is option A.

Fleets at 1 is incorrect since it doesn’t make any sense. It should be replaced with ‘similar’ as it means resembling in character or quality. The correct answer is option B.

Following are the meanings of the words in the bold: 

1. Spewing is a verb which means to expel large quantities of something rapidly and forcibly. 
2. Consuming is a verb which means to completely destroy. 
3. Incinerating is a verb which means to destroy something by burning. 
4. Phoenix dactylifera, commonly known as date or date palm, is a flowering plant species in the palm family, Arecaceae, cultivated for its edible sweet fruit. 

Clearly, the word ‘date’ is wrongly used. Therefore, option B is the apt answer.

The sentence cannot start with the word “era” and would require the definite article “the” before it. Thus, “era” must be removed from A. This narrows down the options to A and B. “Paradigm” cannot be placed at (1) either as it would not make a correct sense. (1) and (3) can be exchanged to convey what globalisation involves. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

‘Corruption’ is the act of corrupting or of moral principle, it is not a process as mentioned in the sentence and ‘selection’ is incorrect at (4), doesn’t give proper sense. So, ‘corruption’ and ‘selection’ should be exchanged. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
