[Fredrichodie]

prosaic <> fictional (prosaic is dull and ordinary, so fictional, imaginative, creative and fanciful is the antonym...)
retrench <> augment (retrench means reduce, sure the antonym is augment, namely increase.)
repugnance <> awe (I'm not sure, but love dose not look like a "GRE word"...)

[youven]

According tot he dictionary:

romantic means imaginary, fictitious, or fabulous

fictional means an imaginary thing or event, postulated for the purposes of argument or explanation.

so I think both of them are antonyms of prosaic (lackof imagination)

The OA is A.

Can anyone explain why romantic should be the solution here?

For the antonym of repugnance I chose awe too, but the OA is E

[chinky]

retrench means to cut off or remove so antonym is enjoin...
prosaic means unimaginative so antonym is romantic...

[prasannaG]

I think the antonym for retrench should be retrench and not enjoin..enjoin means command as per dictionary..whereas augment is increase which seems right one

[dholu3]

I agree with fred

[omnara]

prosaic : dull, unimaginative.
Romantic : Imaginative but impractical; visionary:

enjoin : forbid, impose with authority, so it does not fit as ant. for retrench.
repugnance: Offensive or causing aversion.
awe : mixed emotion of respect, reverence and wonder.
