Question

Choose the word from the passage which means 'dry'.

• A. Desert
• B. Fertile
• C. Arid
• D. Hump

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Arid

Desert is a water-less desolate area of land found in some parts of the world.

Fertile means producing or capable of producing off-springs or the next generation.

Arid means having little or no rain and too barren to support any form of vegetation or dried up/dry area.

Hump is a round protuberance at the back of a camel.

So, the most apt choice is option C) arid which means the same as the word 'dry' .
