Explanation:

In number 3, a proponent is someone who extols something, some idea or proposition. Logic tells us to find someone who does something. In letter D, we have precisely that: someone (an opponent) who does something (who belittles).

In number 4, an ingrate is someone who lacks gratitude. Thus, letter C is the right one, because an invalid is someone who lacks health.

In number 5, we have two words representing opposite ideas: strife is the opposite of harmony. That also happens in letter D: pomp is the opposite of simplicity.

In number 6, sagacity is a characteristic of the mind, something it is capable of. In letter B, the strength is a characteristic of the muscle, something it is also capable of.

In number 7, we have two words representing opposite ideas: reasonable is the opposite of exorbitant. That also happens in letter B: simple is the opposite of flamboyant.

In number 8, callow is a characteristic of someone who lacks maturity. In letter A, laggard is a characteristic of someone who lacks impetus.

In number 9, spartan is a characteristic of something which lacks comfort. In letter D, destitute is the characteristic of something or someone that lacks money.

In number 10, we have two words representing opposite ideas: humble is the opposite of sumptuous. That also happens in letter C: uncertain is the opposite of dogmatic.
