Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Grandfather has been getting feeble of late.

• A. tall
• B. weak
• C. diseased
• D. small

Answer 1

The correct option is B weak

Option B: 'Feeble' means 'lacking physical strength'.

'Weak' means 'having little physical energy or strength'.

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

Option A: 'Tall' means 'of great or more than average height'.

Option C: 'Diseased' means 'suffering from a disease or illness'.

Option D: 'Small' means 'of a size less than normal or usual'.

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

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
