Question

Identify the correct meaning of the given word:

Shift

• A. Manage
• B. Move
• C. Slide
• D. Drag

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Move

The given word 'shift' means 'to move or change from one place to another'. For example, 'I shifted the table to the corner of the room'.
From the options, 'move' gives the meaning of 'shift', as it means the same thing: to change the place of something.
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Manage' means 'to be in charge' or to take lead in a task.
Option C: 'Slide' means 'to move smoothly along a surface'.
Option D: 'Drag' means 'to pull something with force and in a rough manner'.
These words do not give the meaning of 'shift'.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
