Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Indian economy has always shown enough resilience in crisis.

• A. strength
• B. adjustment
• C. elasticity
• D. diversity

Answer 1

The correct option is A strength

Option A: 'Resilience' means 'the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties'.

'Strength' means 'the capacity of a person to withstand difficult situations, physically or mentally'.

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

Option B: 'Adjustment' means 'process of adapting or becoming used to a new situation'.

Option C: 'Elasticity' means 'the ability to change and adapt'.

Option D: 'Diversity' means 'a range of different things'.

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

So, options B, C and D are wrong.
