as for the first — gadgets:tools, I would answer “c,” trinkets:jewelry

tools are often referred to as gadgets — it’s sort of a diminutive, collective, nebulous sort of description of all the tools

jewelry be referred to in the same way as trinkets — a diminutive, collective, nebulous sort of description of all the jewelry

I would not answer “a” because linen includes blankets, but also tablecloths and other household “linens” — blankets is one specific item of many included in the term “linen”

patriotic:chauvenistic — I’d choose “d” receptive:gullible

chauvenistic is being blindly patriotic to a group to which one belongs; taking patriotism (a favorable quality) to extreme (becoming a negative quality)

being receptive is open-minded, being gullible is believing readily and blindly

Answer for first can be d . As gadget is a small device and it is highly specialised. Similarly socket is a device or appliance. While bulb is a tool.

for the first one i’m confused between b and c
all gadgets are tools but all tools may not be called gadgets.
similarly posters is a wider category and sort of superset of leaflets.
as per c various explanations are already given above and i agree to them.
