"Does this really "warrant" such frequent absences from Head Office?"
This question could be rephrased: Does this really such frequent absences from Head Office?
This question could be rephrased: Does this really such frequent absences from Head Office?
"Does this really "warrant" such frequent absences from Head Office?"
This question could be rephrased: Does this really justify such frequent absences from Head Office?
This question could be rephrased: Does this really justify such frequent absences from Head Office?
justify: The verb "to warrant (doing something)" is to have sufficient or a valid reason for doing it. Example: His terrible crimes warranted a severe punishment. "To warrant" shares a similar meaning with the verb "to justify", which means to have a good reason for doing something.
excuse: "To excuse someone or something" is to explain, apologize or forgive them or it. Example: I was excused from gym class because of my broken leg. The difference between "warrant" and "excuse" is subtle in this context, however Fiona is not asking if Susie's responsibilities excuse her frequent trips, but rather if her responsibilities merit or justify them.
permit: The verb "to permit" something to happen is to allow something to happen, or to allow someone to do something. Example: The priest permitted the prisoner to confess his crimes. "To permit" expresses the act of giving permission to do something, but does not indicate that something is "justified" or "warranted".
guarantee: "To guarantee" is to assure a condition or outcome. Stores often guarantee their products against malfunctioning for 6 months after their purchase. A "guarantee" often shares a similar meaning with a "warranty", however the term used in this conversation is the verb "to warrant".

1 to make up your mind: This is correct. To "change one's mind" is to take back a decision, or to make a different decision than the initial one. To "make up one's mind" is to do the opposite: to decide definitively to do something. For example: She changed her mind several times, but eventually she made up her mind and bought the blue pencil.
1 to lose your mind: "To lose your mind" is be irrational, or even to go "mad" or "crazy". For example: After "Dallas" was taken off the air, Horatio briefly lost his mind and broke everything in his laboratory. He calmed down after being given sedatives.
1 to blow your mind: To "blow someone's mind" is to impress or amaze them. For example: Some of his paintings blew my mind. I had no ideas that someone could paint such remarkable images.
2 to be proud: To be or to feel "ashamed" is to feel profoundly humiliated or guilty. To be "proud" is a good antonym for "ashamed". It means to take pleasure or satisfaction in one's actions. For example: After failing the driving test several times, I felt ashamed. Once I passed the test however, I felt proud!
2 to be pleased: To be "pleased" is not a good antonym for "ashamed". To be "pleased" is to feel content or satisfied, however "proud" is a better antonym in this case.
2 to be embarrassed: To be or to feel "embarrassed" shares a close meaning with "ashamed". The two terms are nearly synonymous, but they aren't antonyms!
3 to remember: To "forget (an important meeting)" is to be unable to remember it, or to neglect it. To "remember" is the direct opposite: to keep information in mind or in memory.
3 to remind: To "remind" is to explicitly cause someone to remember something. For example: I left a note on her desk to remind her to call an important client. "Reminding" is different than remembering, and not truly an antonym of "to forget".
3 to get: "To get" is not an antonym of "to forget". To "get" something means to "obtain" or "have" it.
4 to forbid: "To allow (something to happen)" is to permit it or to let it transpire. There are a few terms which could be considered antonyms: to forbid, to deny, to prohibit.
4 to permit: "To permit" is synonymous with "to allow"; both terms mean "to authorize".
4 to punish: "To punish (someone for bad behavior)" is to penalize or castigate them. For example: I punished Bobby for skipping school by taking away his television privileges.
