Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicised part of the sentence.
He enjoyed the salubrious climate of the place.

• A. cold
• B. temperate
• C. warm
• D. healthful

Answer 1

The correct option is D healthful

“Salubrious” means ‘health-giving; healthy’.

Option D is the correct answer because “healthful” means full of health, hence it is the correct meaning for the given word.

Option A is incorrect because “cold” means of a relatively low temperature, which is not the correct meaning of the given word.

Option B is incorrect because “temperate” means relating to or denoting a region or climate characterized by mild temperatures, which is incorrect as it is not the meaning of the given word.

Option C is incorrect because “warm” means a comfortably high temperature, hence it is incorrect.
