1) ‘mat’ is not a type of curtain, it’s for wiping your feet
2) ‘ewe’ is a female sheep and the others are horses, mare (female), stallion (male), foal (baby)
3) ‘repulsive’ is the only adjective that doesn’t mean physically attractive
4) you wear ‘mittens’ on your hands and not your head
5) ‘breeze’ means wind and not ‘cloudy air’ like the others
6) ‘wither’ means to dry away and die in contrast to the other words, which all mean coming to life, plants starting to grow in spring
7) a ‘toad’ is an amphibian and not a reptile
8) ‘plunge’ is to jump or dive while the others mean to have in your hands, ‘hold’
9) ‘wine’ is a drink made from grapes, ‘whine’ would be the synonym of the other verbs
