I posted this. And my choice is projected. It is the closest in meaning to me.

Please don't post each question more than once.
I don't think any of the answers are any good. Accentuate means emphasize, make more noticeable.
#2 is completely different in meaning. The other three could, in some contexts, be used to construct a sentence that conveys the same idea, but they are not really the same.

Thanks for replying. I think I mistakenly posted another thinking my first one didn't get posted. Thanks again:)
But would you pley tell me what you think is closest in meaning to question?

It's an unanswerable question. None of them are close to being synonyms. It's like asking Which is most like "chair": horse, car, yellow or mountain?

The answer is 1, sharpened. And there doesn't seem to be any question about this. In multiple-choice tests you pick the best answer out of the 4. Sharpened is clearly the best of the 4, even though it might not be the best example of a synonym for accentuated (but that's irrelevant - you pick the best answer from those given). The other three aren't anywhere near as good an answer as 1.
