A) conversely is actually ‘contrarily’.
It’s contradictory which means going against a statement, kind of like opposing an idea or so
B) the word reformulate hasn’t got a synonym but it means ‘to formulate something again, but this time in a different way’
C) meek means ‘demure’ or ‘humble’
A more precise answer would be demure
D) a Boulder is a ‘rock’ ?
E) defied is probably ‘to disregard’
Or we can say ‘to go against’
But not exactly so stick to ‘disregard’
F) aloofness is the state of being emotionally or mentally distant
In a word ‘antisocial’ or ‘cold’ or even ‘distant’
G) an astrophysicist is a person who studies astronomy or a person who studies celestial sciences
H) stirred is to cause a slight movement in a word maybe ‘to disturb’ or ‘agitate’
I) crumb...I’m not really sure probably referring to a small piece of something?
(Here in the Uk it means a number of things)
Anyways hope this helps :)
