I don't believe any of them.

I'll vote for two of the least unconvincing: 5 & 6.

I'll take 3 and 14:

> 3 a type of fuze in which substances are separated until required for action and are then brought into contact, uniting chemically and producing an explosion

[Efrem G Mallach]

I went through them, eliminating only the really implausible ones. Then there were none left.

I went through them again, eliminating in random order, and stopping when there were two left.

So, I'll vote for 7 and 10.

For no other reason than pure whimsy, I will go for #5 & #7.

#5   &   #7

No blooming idea - I'll go with

11 and 13

Perhaps emblematic of the times: I initially read 'elocutionist' as 'electrocutionist'.
