Answer:

1. cult -- a. a religious system regarded as misguided or unorthodox

2. cynicism -- c. a philosophy that doubts the attitude, beliefs, or character of others

3. skepticism -- b. a philosophy that believes true knowledge is not possible

4. syncretism -- f. a philosophy that attempts to combine different systems of beliefs or practices

5. monasticism --  e. a way of life where a person withdraws from society to devote self to prayer and solitude

6. utopia -- d. an ideal or perfect place where everyone lives in harmony

Explanation:

The definitions above are clear and explanatory. Still, let's define the terms with different words to make sure the comprehension is thorough. A <u>cult</u> is used to refer to religions that are practiced by smaller groups and that have unconventional beliefs. <u>Cynicism</u> has its origin in an ancient Greek philosophical school. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to the belief that people are self-interest in their actions. <u>Skepticism</u> as a philosophy is the theory that achieving a certain knowledge is impossible. As for <u>syncretism</u>, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. <u>Monasticism</u> is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors. Finally, <u>utopia</u> refers to a place or a state in which everything is perfect. It usually refers to a perfect society, in which everyone works for the general good, rulers are not corrupt, and the people is impeccably happy.
