Explanation:

Question 1

"Envoys" are representatives, especially diplomatic ones. "Ambassadors" are also diplomatic representatives, so they match. "Subordinates" are people under others, "governors" are officials governing areas, and "sailors" work on ships—none match "envoys" as well as "ambassadors".

A "cubicle" is a small, enclosed workspace. Working in one would lead to a sense of being confined. "Relaxation" is the opposite, "listlessness" is lack of energy, and "apprehension" is fear—"confinement" fits the context of a cubicle.

"Incredulous" means not willing to believe. So an incredulous person lacks "belief". "Agreement" is about consent, "knowledge" is about information, and "shoes" is irrelevant—"belief" is the correct match.

Answer:

A) ambassadors
