    1 / -0
    Select the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word.

    It is necessary to develop thrifty habits to be able to lead a comfortable life.

'Extravagant' means who spend money too much. 'Economical' means not using a lot of fuel, money etc. 'Good' means something pleasant or satisfactory.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the synonym of the word given below:
    Prohibit
    Solution
    A synonym is a word that is similar in meaning to another.
    The given word 'prohibit' means 'to formally prevent someone from doing something', for example, 'the consumption of beef has been prohibited'.
    'Forbid' means the same thing: to refuse someone from doing something, for example, 'the consumption of beef has been forbidden'. These two examples mean the same, hence option C is correct.
    'Prescribe' means 'a rule that should be carried out'; this is not synonymous to, but the opposite of the given word. Hence option A is incorrect.
    Similarly, 'allow' means to let someone have or do something. This is the opposite of 'prevent', hence B is incorrect.
    'Provide' means 'to supply, to make available', for example, to provide food for the downtrodden. It does not mean the same as 'prevent', hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the synonym of the word given below:
    Renowned
    Solution
    A synonym is a word that is similar in meaning to another.
    The given word 'renowned' means 'known or talked about for something', like the expression 'a renowned author'.
    From the options, 'famous' means the same: known by a lot of people; consider the expression 'a famous author'. Hence it's the synonym of 'renowned' and option D is correct.
    'Introvert' means a shy person, someone who does not open up easily. This isn't connected to the given word.
    'Extrovert' is the opposite of 'introvert', it refers to an outgoing, socially confident person. It is not connected to 'renowned', hence options A and B are incorrect.
    'Unknown' is the opposite of 'renowned', the former refers to someone or something that is not known or unfamiliar with. Hence it isn't the synonym here and option C is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the synonym of the word given below:
    Presume
    Solution
    A synonym is a word that is similar in meaning to another.
    The given word 'presume' means 'supposing something to be the case', for example, 'He was presumed to be dead.'
    From the options, 'assume' means 'suppose to be the case', for example, 'I assume she has left the city.' It means almost the same as presume, hence option B is correct.
    'Resume' means 'to begin again after a pause or interruption'; it does not relate to the given word, hence option A is incorrect.
    'Calculate' means to determine a number mathematically; it is not close to the meaning of 'presume'. Hence option C is incorrect.
    'Vision' refers to the state of seeing, it does not refer to any supposition, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the synonym of the word given below:
    Lethal
    Solution
    The given word 'lethal' means something that is sufficient to cause significant damage or death.
    From the options, 'deadly' also means the same, 'able to cause death'. Consider these expressions 'lethal weapons', 'deadly weapons'. They are synonymous in meaning; hence option B is correct.
    'Lively' means full of life and energy, it isn't synonymous to lethal.
    'Beneficial' means favourable, something resulting in good, whereas 'lethal is something that results in death, which isn't good.
    'Wholesome' means good health and physical well-being, which is quite the opposite of lethal.
    These words are not similar in meaning to 'lethal'; hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the synonym of the word given below:
    Fiction
    Solution
    'Fiction' means imaginary and not based on real facts and people. E.g. The book is a work of fiction and not intended as a historical account. 'Biography' means the life story of a person written by someone else. 'Real' means not imaginary. 'Factual' means using or consisting of facts. 'Imaginary' means not real. 
    Thus, option D is the correct answer for the given word.
