Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/sentence:
Wicked to a high degree

• A. Cruel
• B. Hateful
• C. Heinous
• D. Abominable

Answer 1

The correct option is C Heinous

Option C: 'Heinous' means 'utterly odious or wicked'.

This word means the same as the given group of words. Hence it can replace them and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Cruel' means 'willfully causing pain or suffering to others'.

Option B: 'Hateful' means 'filled with hatred'.

Option D: 'Abominable' means 'very bad, terrible'.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words and hence cannot replace them.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
