Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The man did not relish his nearness to the tigress.

• A. enjoy
• B. like
• C. guess
• D. risk

Answer 1

The correct option is A enjoy

Option A: 'Relish' means 'great enjoyment'.

'Enjoy' means 'take delight or pleasure in'.

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

Option B: 'Like' means 'find agreeable, enjoyable, or satisfactory'. It means the same as 'enjoyable', but it does not exactly mean the same as 'relish'. There is a difference in meaning between 'enjoying something' and 'finding something enjoyable'.

Option C: 'Guess' means 'estimate or conclude without sufficient information or evidence'.

Option D: 'Risk' means 'a situation involving exposure to danger'.

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

So, options B, C and D are wrong.
