Question

Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the word printed in italic bold in the sentence.
In his lust for wealth, he had reached the zenith of criminal activity.

• A. acme
• B. nadir
• C. culmination
• D. end

Answer 1

The correct option is A acme

In this sentence we would be looking into the word that best expresses "Zenith" from the options given below.

Zenith means the time at which something is most powerful or successful. The point at which something is at its best or most highly developed is acme. They are synonymous.

If we look into the other options,

Nadir means the lowest or most unsuccessful point in a situation. It is just the opposite

Culmination means the highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time

End means a final part of something, especially a period of time, an activity, or a story

Option A is correct
