Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Everybody in the Assembly shouted and there was a pandemonium in the hall.

• A. crowd
• B. noise
• C. disorderly scene
• D. laughter

Answer 1

The correct option is C disorderly scene

Option C: 'Pandemonium' means 'wild and noisy disorder or confusion'.

'Disorderly scene' means 'an untidy and badly organised scene'.

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

Option A: 'Crowd' means 'a large number of people gathered together in a disorganized way'.

'Crowd' refers to the people whereas 'pandemonium' refers to the disorder.

Option B: 'Noise' means 'a series or combination of loud, confusing sounds that cause disturbance'.

Option D: 'Laughter' means 'the action or sound made while laughing'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
