Solution to "Opposites Quiz"

Spoiler:

The pairs represent an "invisible letter" and a "silent letter".


For example, "tableau" has an invisible "o".
It has an "o" sound with no "o" present.'

While "leopard" has a silent "o".


There are twenty-six such pairs,
one for each letter of the alphabet.
