Question

Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
We cherish the tradition of bravery.

• A. revive
• B. learn
• C. hold dear
• D. imitate

Answer 1

The correct option is C hold dear

Option C: 'Cherish' means 'hold (something) dear to you'.

'Hold dear' expresses the meaning of 'cherish'.

So, this word means the same as the given italicized word and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Revive' means 'restore to life and consciousness'.

Option B: 'Learn' means 'gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in something by study or experience'.

Option D: 'Imitate' means 'take or follow as a model'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'cherish'.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
