Explanation:

1. For the meaning of "pruned", the text mentions farmers cut out dead wood and thin out branches, so it means to cut and trim.
2. For the synonym - antonym pairs:

• "roamed" means to move around freely, while "remained" means to stay in one place, so they are antonyms.
• "voyage" and "travel" both refer to going from one place to another, so they are synonyms.
• "clumsy" implies being awkward, and "accurate" implies being correct and precise, so they are antonyms.
• "settle" means to establish oneself in a place, and "journey" means a trip, so they are different - not synonyms or antonyms in a strict sense.
• "complete" and "accomplish" both mean to finish or achieve something, so they are synonyms.
