The man was so worried about his appearance that he had to keep his semblance "the outward appearance or apparent form of something, especially when the reality is different." of wealthiness that he kept misinformed even his family.

I really do hope now is more clear.

OE


C and E

In this sentence, you're told about a man who has been fired and doesn't tell his wife and kids. This somehow relates to "plenitude," which means "the condition of being full or complete." Clearly, if you get fired and don't tell your family, it's because you want to pretend that you're still okay. A good fill-in word would be appearance.

Corollaries and consequences are an incorrect pair. Paradigms (things serving as an example or model) and prepossessions (attitudes or beliefs formed beforehand) have no relationship.
