Question

Fill in the blank with the correct word to complete the given definition:

A house where an eskimo lives is called a/an ________.

• A. dower
• B. igloo
• C. mint
• D. hamlet

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

igloo

This is an information based question. The correct answer is the house in which an Eskimo lives.

Option A is incorrect. A dower means 'estate to which a wife is entitled on the death of her husband'. An Eskimo does not stay in a dower.

Option B is correct. Igloo is the name of an Eskimo's house and thus it is the only correct option.

Option C is incorrect. Mint is the name of a place where money is coined and not where an Eskimo stays.

Option D is incorrect. Hamlet means a 'village'. It is also not the name of an Eskimo's residence.
