The words "bolt" and "lock" are closely related. The word "key" might be related to the word "bolt" or "latch"; however, a "key" is clearly not the same as a "bolt" or a "latch." The noun key is synonymous with the word answer. "He found the key to the mystery; the answer was clear." Note that the words "speech" and "talk" are also closely related. Try eliminating answer choices that seem to be almost paired up, meaning that they represent the same thing, like "latch" and "bolt."
