Question

Choose the appropriate synonym of the underlined word:
The director gave the little-known actor his first chance.

• A. broad
• B. bone
• C. break
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

break

'Broad' means wide or large. 'Bone' is a rigid organ that forms the skeleton. 'Break' refers to an opportunity or chance. So, in this context, "The director gave the little-known actor his first chance", 'chance' means break. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
