Answer:
Endless
Infinite (لامحدود) means limitless or 'endless' (بے پایان) in space, extent, or size. 'Indefinite' (غیر معینہ) means not clearly defined, which is different.

Infidel
Answer:
Unbeliever
An infidel (کافر) is an archaic and often derogatory term for a person who does not believe in a particular religion. 'Unbeliever' (بے دین) is the literal definition. 'Conformist' (روایت پسند) is someone who follows established norms.

Answer:
Full of
Infested (بھرا ہوا) means to be present in large numbers, typically so as to cause damage or disease. 'Full of' (سے بھرا ہوا) in a negative context is the closest meaning.

Inference
Answer:
Reasoned deduction
An inference (نتیجہ) is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. It is a 'reasoned deduction' (منطقی نتیجہ) made from available facts. 'Idea' (خیال) is too general.

Answer:
Hardened
To indurate (سخت کرنا) means to make hard or 'harden' (سخت ہو جانا), either physically or emotionally (to make unfeeling). 'Flexible' (لچکدار) is an antonym.
