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 distance from Amman to Bombay is too far to be covered by the A 320 planes.
II. Ashish waited at the door for his father with a sad face.

• A. bad
• B. heavy
• C. long
• D. unlucky

Answer 1

The correct option is C long

The word that has same meaning as the italicized word in both the sentences is option C, 'long'. Long means lengthy. We also say long face as an expression of sadness. Sentence I refers to the long distance between Amman and Bombay. Second sentence refers to the sad or long face of Ashish waiting at the door for his father. Option A 'bad' means of poor quality or inferior. Option B 'heavy' means of great weight. Option D 'unlucky' means unfortunate. Thus, A, B and D cannot be used on both of these sentences. The correct option is option C, long.
