Answer 1

The correct option is C Idyll

Option C: 'Idyll' means 'a short description in the form of a verse or poem about an extremely happy, picturesque scene or incident'. It means the same as the given group of words.

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

Option A: 'Malady' is a disease or ailment.

Option B: 'Sonnet' is a poem of fourteen lines.
