Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:

The earth from here is a grand oasis in the vastness of space.

• A. greenland
• B. landscape
• C. waterhole
• D. wetland

Answer 1

The correct option is C waterhole

Option C: 'Oasis' is 'a fertile spot in a desert where water is found'.

'Waterhole' means 'a small pool in a dry area where animals go to drink'.

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

Option A: 'Greenland' is the name of the largest island in the world.

Option B: 'Landscape' means 'all the visible features of an area of land'.

Option D: 'Wetland' is a land consisting of marshes and swamps.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
