Question

Choose the synonym of the word 'triumphantly' as used in the paragraph:

• A. Victoriously
• B. Untiringly
• C. Tolerantly
• D. Consecutively

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Victoriously

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

Option A: 'Triumphantly' means 'having achieved a victory, success or an achievement'.

'Victoriously' means 'a success or triumph in something'.

You can see that 'victorious' means the same as 'triumphant'.

Both mean 'being successful in something, having won something'. Hence, option A is correct.

Option B: 'Untiringly' means 'in a way that one does not lose energy, or get tired'. The word 'untiringly' is not used commonly.

Option C: 'Tolerantly' means 'in an accepting or forbearing manner', 'in a way that one has to bear or tolerate something'.

Option D: 'Consecutively' means 'one after another without interruption'.

These words do not mean the same as 'triumphantly'.

Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.
