This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
As part of a study in auditory perception, a group of students was made to listen to a low-volume music track. When they first put on their headphones, they almost couldn’t hear anything. But as they became more attentive, the sound gradually became clearer. This is an example of _________.
a. retinal disparity
b. pitch increase
c. sensitization
d. subliminal stimulation
Answer:
This is an example of C. sensitization.
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the sound was not altered. Its volume, its pitch - everything remained the same. There was, however, an alteration in people's perception of the sound, and that is due to a process known as sensitization. Sensitization happens when a certain stimulus becomes more effective because of repetition or continuation. That is, because people kept on listening to the sound, even though it was low, they were able to hear it after a while.
An antonym is a word that's opposite in meaning. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "D". Synonym is the opposite of antonym.

There are numerous examples in English literature that are

help you in future.
<span>In January 1830, in a dramatic encounter on the floor of the United States Senate, the debate over the nature of the Union took an alarming turn. The debate moved beyond the exchange of alternative views on how to administer the federal government to accusations and recriminations about the destruction of the federal government and the Union. States’ rights and nationalist positions, which previously were adopted without regard to a consistent pattern of sectional identification or alignment, were defined in a way that portended political violence between irreconcilably opposed sections. The event that presented this portent of sectional discord was the debate over the nature of the Union between Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina.</span>
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not include the text. Without the text, we do not know what you are talking about.
However, we did deep research to help you and can comment on the following.
If you are talking about the Declaration of Independence of the United States, then, the social contract that the government gets its power from the people is mentioned in the following excerpt: <em>"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."</em>
Enlightenment thinker Thomas Hobbes was one of the thinkers that talked about the social contract.
Other Enlightenment philosophers such as John Locke also wrote about popular sovereignty.
Baron of Montesquious and Jean-Jaques Rosseau were other thinkers that proposed interesting ideas about the form of governments and people's rights, that influenced further independence movements and revolutions.
