First group seems fine to me, though the last one is questionable , yet I think " explanation " is close to the word " denouement " The second group is fine except #2. I would pick " hopeful " but it seems to me that is not really opposite to the word " valedictory "

As for the second part, I think you also got everything right except for #2
2). VALEDICTORY a) farewell b) final c) hopeful d) parting

I think that denouement is closest to explanation. In a murder mystery, for example, you have the denouement, in which the clever dective explains who did it, how, and why. It's the unravling of the mystery, which is closer to an explanation than simply ending it.
1). DELETERIOUS means to have a negative effect, so the opposite would one that has a postive effect, so I would
