Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The incident was a grim reflection of the bizarre things that go on in the village.

• A. summary
• B. picture
• C. comment
• D. portrait

Answer 1

The correct option is B picture

Option B: 'Reflection' means 'an idea about something, especially one that is written down or expressed'.

'Picture' means 'an impression of something formed from a description'.

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

Option A: 'Summary' means 'a brief account of the main points of something'.

Option C: 'Comment' means 'a verbal or written remark expressing an opinion or reaction'.

Option D: 'Portrait' means 'a representation or impression of someone or something in language or on film or television'.

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

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
