Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Vishal had got an indication from his friend about the changes in the export market.

• A. a feeling
• B. a hint
• C. a guess
• D. a report
• E. an ultimatum

Answer 1

The correct option is B a hint

Option B: 'Indication' means 'a sign that something exists, is true, or likely to happen'.

'Hint' means 'a slight or indirect indication or suggestion'.

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

Option A: 'Feeling' means 'an emotional state or reaction'.

Option C: 'Guess' means 'an estimate or conclusion without sufficient information'.

Option D: 'Report' means 'an account of a particular matter'.

Option E: 'Ultimatum' means 'a threat in which a person is warned to do (or not do) something'.

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

So, options A, C, D and E are wrong.
