Answer 3

ans is (a)

incomprehensible that means very difficult to understand

Answer 4

We really have to be infallible on God if such questions comes in our paper.

Such questions are completely inexplicable/incomprehensible if you have no idea of their meaning.

If you form sentences on your own, then these meanings of the words to you will be idelible.

Although such questions are inextricable, but it will be better to leave if you are unfamiliar with the meaning.
