Explanation:

1. "Inception" means the establishment or starting - point, which fits the context of animals having instincts from the start of their lives.
2. "Provocative" clothing can cause drama, which is consistent with the description of students' clothing.
3. "Accentuate" means to make more noticeable, which is what the hair highlights were supposed to do to the eyes.
4. Using "provocative" language can lead to disciplinary actions like getting ISS and expelled.
5. "Impregnable" barrier implies something difficult to overcome, which was initially feared about Milly's dyslexia.
6. "Felicitous" means appropriate or well - chosen, and torn jeans were not an appropriate (felicitous) choice for a queen's funeral.
7. "Introspective" people engage in self - reflection, and since Clem didn't learn from mistakes, he was not introspective.
