Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word.
The detective looking for the lost woman heard a voice, but it was so faint that it was impossible to be sure what it was or even where it came from.

• A. Frightening
• B. Pale
• C. Loud
• D. Indistinct
• E. Weird

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Indistinct

'Faint' means (of a sight, smell, or sound) barely perceptible.

"the faint murmur of voices"

In this sentence, "The detective looking for the lost woman heard a voice, but it was so faint that it was impossible to be sure what it was or even where it came from", 'faint' means indistinct. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the correct answer.
