Solution

To match the vocabulary words to their closest synonyms, let's analyze each word and its potential synonyms:

Loath: This word means unwilling or reluctant. A synonym could be "prone," as it suggests a tendency or inclination, which is the opposite of reluctance. However, since we are looking for a synonym, "prone" is not suitable. The correct synonym is not provided in the options.
Explicit: This word means clear and detailed, leaving no room for confusion or doubt. The closest synonym from the options is "manifest," which means clear or obvious to the eye or mind.
Egregious: This word means outstandingly bad or shocking. The closest synonym from the options is "bad to surmise," as it implies something that is obviously bad or negative.
Biased: This word means unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something. The closest synonym from the options is "skew," which means to distort or bias.
Iniquitous: This word means grossly unfair and morally wrong. The closest synonym from the options is "to repine," which means to feel or express discontent; however, this is not a perfect match. The correct synonym is not provided in the options.
Probity: This word means the quality of having strong moral principles; honesty and decency. The closest synonym from the options is "righteousness," which means morally right or justifiable.
Proscribe: This word means to forbid, especially by law. The closest synonym from the options is "to forswear," which means to renounce or reject something.
Expiate: This word means to atone for guilt or sin. The closest synonym from the options is "to redress," which means to remedy or set right.
