Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

Physically we are now all neighbours, but psychologically we are ___________ to each other.

• A. Primitives
• B. Complimentary
• C. Strangers
• D. Cowards

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Strangers

Option C: 'Strangers' are 'outsiders that have no personal acquaintances with one another'. It relates to the given sentence: psychologically, as physical neighbours, we may not be acquainted with one another.

Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Primitives' means 'characteristic of an early age, or early stages of human development'. For example, the men belonging to the Stone Age are primitive.

Option B: 'Complimentary' means 'combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize its quality'.

Option D: 'Cowards' are people who lack the courage in facing any danger or difficulty.

These words do not complete the sentence in meaning, and 'strangers' is the most appropriate option.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
