Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The only way to subvert the money power and let truth triumph is by enhancing the perks or income of the individuals.

• A. reduce
• B. abolish
• C. overthrow
• D. subdue

Answer 1

The correct option is C overthrow

Option C: 'Subvert' means 'undermine the power and authority of', 'destroy or damage someone in power'.

'Overthrow' means 'remove forcibly from power'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Reduce' means 'make smaller or less in degree or amount'.

Option B: 'Abolish' means 'formally put an end to a system or practice'.

Option D: 'Subdue' means 'quieten or bring under control'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'subvert'.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
