Answer 55

So, #10? :)

Answer 56

ummm, im not sure. i think pertinacity : stubbornness

Answer 57

I also thought it could be injunction : disunity

Answer 58

@LeeEtchison

Answer 59

Not quite, those are synonyms, while "aptitude" and "lack of skill" are antonyms.
Injunction: an authoritative warning or order. Disunity:non-unity
So those aren't really related.
Pertinacity=stubbornness, so not that.
subjugation:domination, so not that.
colloquialism: used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary.
Since, colloquialism is the antonym of formal speech, it's D.
