Question

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

People at a lecture or concert

• A. Congregation
• B. Audience
• C. Mob
• D. Spectators

Answer 1

The correct option is B Audience

Option B: 'Audience' means 'assembled people or listeners at a public event'. It means the same as the given group of words.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option B is correct.

Option A: 'Congregation' is 'a group of people assembled for religious worship'.

Option C: 'Mob' is 'a large crowd of people intent on causing trouble or violence'.

Option D: 'Spectators' is a person who watches a show or game.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, it cannot replace them.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
