Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicised part of the sentence.
Deepak has a penchant for fine poetry.

• A. desire
• B. bias
• C. liking
• D. training

Answer 1

The correct option is C liking

“Penchant” means to have a strong or habitual liking for something or tendency to do something, hence Option C is the most suitable word that expresses the meaning of penchant as it means “liking”. Liking means a feeling of regard or fondness, basically interest towards something.

Hence option C is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because “desire” means a strong feeling to want something, which is not the same as having an interest towards something, hence it is incorrect .

Option B is incorrect because “bias” means inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, usually considered unfair. Hence it is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because “training” means the process of being taught and trained to perform an activity, hence it is incorrect.
