Select the word that is similar in meaning to the word in capital letters.

GHASTLY

• A. Painful
• B. Exciting
• C. Dreadful
• D. Unforgettable

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dreadful

Ghastly refers to something causing great horror or fear.

Option A; Painful means affected with pain and does not really speak of any horror or fear that is caused and hence is an incorrect option.

Option B; Exciting means causing great enthusiasm and eagerness and is probably a word with an opposite meaning to the aforesaid word and hence is an incorrect option.

Option C; Dreadful means causing or involving great suffering, fear or unhappiness and can be used as a synonym to Ghastly and hence this is the right option.

Option D; Unforgettable means impossible to forget and this word does not really have any similarity in its meaning with the aforesaid word and hence it is an incorrect option.
