Question

Choose the appropiate synonym for the given word:

Cacophony

• A. Discordant
• B. Dance
• C. Applause
• D. Type of telephone
• E. Rooster

Answer 1

The correct option is A Discordant

'Cacophony' means an unpleasant mixture of harsh and loud sounds. E.g. As we entered the farmyard we were met with a cacophony of animal sounds. 'Discordant' means harsh or jarring sounds. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are wrong.

'Dance' means move or do steps rhythmically to music. 'Applause' means praise expressed by clapping. 'Type of telephone' option is clearly a wrong answer. 'Rooster' means an adult male chicken.
