Explanation

The correct pairing is Ante with before, Cf. with to compare, Et al. with and others, and Passim with here and there.

Ante is Latin for before, pointing to material appearing earlier in a text.

Cf. abbreviates confer, an instruction to compare with another source.

Et al. abbreviates et alii, meaning and others, used for multiple authors.

Passim means here and there, showing a theme recurs throughout a work.

These Latin scholarly abbreviations are standard in citations and footnotes.
