Question

Read the poem carefully and fill the appropriate word for blank $10$.

• A. comrade
• B. man
• C. soldier
• D. owl

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

comrade

The tenth blank refers to the lines - 'Do this, and the wind will be friends with us', 'He makes strong fires roar and flourish'. This means that the wind will help us like a friend to be strong and determined. Let's look at the options to find a synonym for 'friend'.

Option B - 'Man' is a general word and can be used to refer to both good and bad. It doesn't mean 'friend'. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - A 'soldier' is a man who protects the nation and 'soldier' is not the synonym of 'friend'. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - An 'owl' is a bird and not considered as a friend. It's not even a synonym of 'friend'. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - A 'comrade' means a companion or a friend. It is a synonym of 'friend' and hence, option A is the correct answer.
