Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
He has won great admiration amongst his students because of his verdant outlook.

• A. wide
• B. optimistic
• C. fresh
• D. logical

Answer 1

The correct option is C fresh

Option C: 'Verdant' means 'flourishing, fresh'. It usually refers to greenery, and its freshness. Here, it refers to the freshness of the person 'he'.

'Fresh' means 'new and different'.

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

Option A: 'Wide' means 'to the full extent'.

Option B: 'Optimistic' means 'hopeful and positive about the future'.

Option D: 'Logical' means 'capable of clear, sound reasoning'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
