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. I found it difficult to find the man for I was not acquainted with the place.
II. The two articles had something common between them.

• A. similar
• B. known
• C. familiar
• D. resembling

Answer 1

The correct option is C familiar

• The word that has same context as the italicized word in both the sentences is Option C, familiar. Familiar means well known for long or close. The context of sentence I is that it was difficult to find the man as he was not familiar with the place. Sentence II means two articles had something in common i.e: they meaning the same. Option A 'similar' means having resemblance. Option B 'known' means recognized. Option D 'resembling' means having similar appearance. So, all these options A, B and D cannot be used for both the sentences I and II together. So, the best fit is Option C, familiar.
