Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:

A short journey made by a group of persons together

• A. Hike
• B. Excursion
• C. Picnic
• D. Stroll

Answer 1

The correct option is B Excursion

Option B: An 'excursion' is 'a short journey or trip, made by a group of people'.

This word means the same as the given phrase and can substitute for it. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: A 'hike' is 'a long walk, generally across the countryside'.

Option C: A 'picnic' is 'a packed meal eaten outdoors, especially during an outing'.

Option D: A 'stroll' is 'a short leisurely walk'.

These words do not mean the same as the given phrase.

Hence they cannot substitute for it and options A, C and D are wrong.
