Question

Choose the word that can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:

A person's first speech

• A. Preface
• B. Maiden
• C. Opener
• D. Extempore

Answer 1

The correct option is B Maiden

Option B: 'Maiden' means 'being the first of its type'. It means the same as the given group of words.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option B is correct.

Option A: 'Preface' is an introduction to a book or any other literary work.

Option C: 'Opener' is the first in a series of game or actions. But, it does not refer to 'a person's first speech'.

Option D: 'Extempore' means 'spoken or done without preparation'.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, it cannot replace them.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
