"Candid" means truthful or honest, so "honest" is the correct answer. "Deceitful" is an antonym of "candid" and "honest"; it means dishonest or trying to trick someone. "Gigantic" means extremely large. "Persuasive" means very convincing. "Injured" means hurt or having an injury.

“Dubious” means questioning or questionable. If a person is “dubious” about something, they are uncertain or unsure. To help, "cumbersome" means heavy or hard to manage.

"Paramount" means upmost or supreme, as in the commonly heard phrase, “of paramount importance.” For clarification, "mediocre" means average in a negative way; "penitent" means feeling regret for sinful behavior; "outlawed" means banned or criminalized.

"Relevant" means appropriate, or "pertinent."

“Obligatory” is an adjective that means “required by a legal, moral, or other rule; compulsory,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “compulsory.” That means that “voluntary” cannot be the correct answer, because “voluntary” means “acting of one’s own free will,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “obligatory.” “Mandatory,” however, is an adjective that means “required by law or rules; compulsory,” and because “mandatory” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “obligatory,” “mandatory” is the correct answer.

"Prime" means main, so "main" is the correct answer. "Secondary" means less important or crucial than something else. "Last" means final.

"Clear" means apparent or translucent. 

"Convoluted" means confusing or excessively complex to the point of decreasing clarity.

"Singular" can be synonymous with "unique." The prefix uni- means one single unit, and both these words refer something that is unique or notable in its singular nature. "Plural" is an antonym to "singular." The rest of the words describe things notable for their oddness, while singular or unique things can be odd, this is not always or necessarily the case.
