Question

Choose the correct synonym for the word 'mastered':

• A. Tried
• B. Learnt
• C. Taught
• D. Created

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Learnt

A synonym is a word or a phrase that is similar in meaning to another word/phrase.

The word 'mastered' means 'acquired complete knowledge or skill in'.

Option B: 'Learnt' means 'gained or acquired knowledge or skill (in something) by study or experience, or being taught'.

So, you can see that 'learn' means the same as 'mastered'.

Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Tried' means 'make an attempt or effort to do something'.

Option C: 'Taught' means 'impart knowledge or instruct (someone) how to do something'.

Option D: 'Created' means 'to bring into existence'.

These words do not mean the same as 'mastered'. Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
