Answer:

Impinge - strike .

Garrulous - loquacious.

Pious - religious.

Ruinous- dilapidated.

Explanation:

<u>Synonyms are those words that have the same meaning as the base word</u>. They are just another word for the same meaning, allowing for the use of a different word to refer to the same meaning.

The synonyms of the given words are as follows-

<u>Impinge</u> is used when there is some impact, an effect that is more of the negative side.

<u>Garrulous</u> is someone who is talkative, who talks a lot. So, another word for this same word is loquacious.

A <u>pious</u> person is someone who is religious, devoted.

<u>Ruinous</u> is something that suggests something that is on the way to ruin, dilapidated, demolished, or getting worse.
