Bridge needed urgently~THX

1. FORMIDABLE:
A enticing
B invigorating
D affectionate
In MV "formidable" has two definitions relevant to those words above, so I am totally confused.
1 : causing fear, dread, or apprehension
2 : having qualities that discourage approach or attack

2. NOVICE: EXPERIENC
C dilettante interest
E nonentity consequence
dilettante lacks interests, nonentity lacks consequence... Again confused......

3. RABBLE CONTROL
B engima explain
D mistake rectify
what is the bridge here? Is "RABBLE difficult to control" or "rabble needs to be controled"?

4. deflate air
A subjugate independence
B enervate growth
I think A because independence is a attribute just like air, while growth is a process or state, am I right???

5. DISCOURTEOUS OFFEND
A imposing daut
B inculpable blame
C disreputable admire
D illustrious laud
E decorous insult
this one drives me crazy because it seems neither fits rigoriously........
sth imposing will daunt peopel!!??
sth illustrious will only make people laud

6. TRADEMARK MANUFACTURE
A scepter monarch
B badge sheriff
C licence driver
D barcode cashier
E seal signatory

detailed bridges needed por favor, El Seņor~ Thx in advance.
btw, I wish I had the official answer...

1. FORMIDABLE:
A enticing
B invigorating
D affectionate

Formidable ---> Inspiring fear.
Affectionate --> Having warmth or affection.

2. NOVICE: EXPERIENCE
C dilettante interest
E nonentity consequence

Novice lacks serious experience.
Dilettante lacks serious interest.

3. RABBLE CONTROL
B enigma explain
D mistake rectify

A rabble needs to control.
A mistake needs to rectify.
Both rabble and mistake have negative meaning.

4. deflate air
A subjugate independence
B enervate growth

To deflate is to reduce air.
To enervate is to reduce growth.

5. DISCOURTEOUS OFFEND
A imposing daunt
B inculpable blame
C disreputable admire
D illustrious laud
E decorous insult

A discourteous person deserves offend.
An illustrious person deserves laud.

6. TRADEMARK MANUFACTURE
A scepter monarch
B badge sheriff
C licence driver
D barcode cashier
E seal signatory

Manufacture is represented by a trademark.
Monarch is represented by a scepter.

What are the OAs?

i agree with no 1 & 2, #3 but i think rabble is the crowd lacking control and enigma is a circumstance without good explaination (confusing)#4 to deflate is to remove air, while subjugate is to remove independence#6 trademark is a mark of the manufacturer and seal is a mark of signatory my dictionary shows a scepter is someone carried by the queen or king but not necessary a mark for the monarch ,
