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 tree was leaning towards the building.
II. I was willing to accept the first offer made by the shopkeeper.

• A. sloped
• B. disposed
• C. bent
• D. forced
• E. inclined

Answer 1

The correct option is E inclined

The word that could replace italicized words of both the sentences is option E, 'inclined'. Inclined means sloping. It also means wanting to do something. Sentence I means that tree was sloping towards the building. Sentence II means that I wanted to accept the first offer letter made by the shopkeeper. Option A 'sloped' means inclined. Option B 'disposed' means to be willing to so something. Option C 'bent' means curved and not straight. Option D 'forced' means imposed or compulsory. Thus, A, B, C and D are incorrect options and the best fit for both the sentences is option E, inclined.
