Question

Select a suitable option to complete the sentence:

The appropriate word used for marriage between people of different races is __________.

• A. scurrility
• B. miscegenation
• C. reverberation
• D. embolism
• E. non sequitur

Answer 1

The correct option is B miscegenation

Option B: 'Miscegenation' means 'marriage or cohabitation between two people from different racial groups'.

It is relevant to the given sentence. The word is used for 'marriage between people of different races'.

Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Scurrility' means 'a quality of being obscenely abusive'.

Option C: 'Reverberation' means 'a reechoed sound'.

Option D: 'Embolism' is 'a blockage of a blood vessel'.

Option E: 'Non sequitur' is 'a statement containing an illogical conclusion'.

These words are not related to 'inter-racial marriage'.

Hence options A, C, D, and E are wrong.
