As we can see we need a noun to fill the blank. Delude and imbibe are verbs so they can be easily eliminated.
Animosity (n) which means hatred /enmity doesn't fit in the context.
Quest(n) which means 'the act of seeking anything' fits in the context appropriately.
Animosity (n) which means hatred /enmity doesn't fit in the context.
Quest(n) which means 'the act of seeking anything' fits in the context appropriately.

Look around - to search a place,to take note of what is going on.
8) B
Insists
In the given sentence, only ‘insists’ make it grammatically as well as contextually correct.
Option (A) is incorrect because after adverb ‘finally’ we need a verb but ‘culpable’ is an adjective.
Option (C) is incorrect because it is both grammatically and contextually wrong. As ‘Mr Gandhi’ is a name we
use ‘s’/ ‘es’ form of verb.
Option (D) is incorrect because ‘cossets’ does not make any sense.
Option (D) is incorrect because ‘cossets’ does not make any sense.
Option (E) is incorrect because ‘alleviate’ does not fit here contextually.
9) A
'remains a challenge' is the correct usage here. Singular form of the verb will be used for the singular act 'The continuance'.
10) D
Persuasive
In the given sentence, only ‘persuasive’ make it grammatically as well as contextually correct.
Option (A) is incorrect because before noun ‘skills’ we
need an adjective. But ‘ritual’ is a noun.
Option (B) is incorrect because ‘propound’ does not
make any sense here.
Option (C) is incorrect because ‘adamant’ is both
grammatically and contextually wrong.
