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 feel scared when I look at towering buildings.
II. Because of his arrogant behaviour, many people are offended with him.

• A. proud
• B. lofty
• C. haughty
• D. high

Answer 1

The correct option is B lofty

The word that has same meaning as the italicized word in both the sentences is Option B, lofty. Lofty means high or tall. Also, if we act in a lofty way, it means we think we are better than other person. Sentence I means that person gets scared when he looks at tall buildings. Sentence II means because of his lofty behavior, people are offended with him. Option A 'proud' means having high opinion about oneself. Option C 'haughty'means Superior Option D 'high' means elevated. Thus, options A, C and D are wrong to be used and the correct option is option B, 'lofty'.
