well, flak is generally used as noun. i missed this thing earlier while answering this question. I think rave here is used as verb. I think pan is the correct antonym. Pan: express a totally negative opinion of e.g The critics panned the performance.

Manasi, Can you explain Q 41. im confused

Manasi, 44. EXCULPATE: A. inculcate B. insinuate C. indict D. indicate E. invigorate How can it be Insinuate which means a sly hint. Exculpate is clear of blame and Indict means accuse someone of wrongdoing. 48. ICONOCLAST: A. idolizing B. idyllic C. conformist D. byzantine E. philistine Iconoclast is again non-conformist, one who doesnt follow tradition. so Conformist is the rite antonym.
