Loot
“Lucre” is a noun that means “money, especially when gained in a dishonorable manner,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “money.” “Loot” is a word that when used as a noun can mean “property taken from an enemy in war,” “stolen money or valuables,” or informally, “money; wealth.” Because “loot” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “lucre,” “loot” is the correct answer.

REALM

Ruler
Land
“Realm” is a noun that can mean “a kingdom” or “a field or domain of activity or interest,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “a kingdom” or “a field of activity or interest.” That means that “ruler” cannot be the correct answer, because while a ruler might rule over a kingdom, “ruler” does not mean the same thing as “kingdom.” “Land,” however, when used as a noun, can mean “a country,” and because “land” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “realm,” “land” is the correct answer.
