in first one,i m not sure betn 1st and 5th
the bridge is x lacks y.

in 3rd one,scales are the sign of justice and torch is the sign of liberty

4th is the degree question no other than d fits here

i have a doubt in 4th one.

in 4th can the answer have the opposite order of degree as the question.

like excessive:moderate::distinguished:reverence

in this x has a higher degree than y
can the answer be y has a higher degree than x

I think I would go for E - 'you Y an X to activate it'.
