Question

Choose the word(s) which has the same meaning and can be used in the same context as the italicized word/phrase in both the given sentences.
I. The morning was clear and warm and not a single flake of snow was noticed.
II. Santosh Yadav was the first Indian woman to ascend the Mt.Everest.

• A. climb
• B. scale
• C. level
• D. step

Answer 1

The correct option is B scale

The word that has same context as the italicized word in both the sentences is option B, scale. Scale means a dry flake of skin. Scale also means to climb up a steep surface. Context of sentence I is that there was no scale of snow in the morning. Second sentence means Santosh Yadav was the first Indian woman to scale the Mt. Everest. Option A 'climb' means to ascend or mount. Option C 'level' means measure or degree. Option D 'step' means a footstep or stairs. All these options A, C and D cannot be used on both the sentences together. So, the best fit is Option B, scale.
