Question

From the below-mentioned words, choose the word whose meaning is different from the others:
Shiver, Shudder, Still, Quake

• A. Shiver
• B. Quake
• C. Shudder
• D. Still

Answer 1

The correct option is D Still

The word, 'shake' means 'tremble or vibrate'. The word, 'shiver' mean 'shake slightly and uncontrollably as a result of being cold, frightened, or excited'. The word, 'shudder' means 'tremble with an involuntary movement of the body, mainly due to fear or revulsion'. All these three words are verbs which carry similar meanings.

The word, 'still' is an adjective which means 'not moving or making a sound'. The verb, 'still' means 'make or become still or quieten'. As this word means the opposite of the other three words, option D is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect.
