Answer 1

The correct option is A Perish

Among the given group of words, all words except 'Perish' are verbs which mean 'to recover or redeem something'.

Option B - 'Revive' is a verb which means 'to recover, to regain or to refresh', Option C - 'Regain' is a verb which means 'to retrieve, to regain or to repossess',

Option D - 'Salvage' is a verb which means 'to rescue, to restore or to reclaim'. These words convey similar meanings but Option A - 'Perish' is a verb which means 'to decease, to expire or to die'.

Therefore, the word which has a different meaning from the other words in the group is Option A - Perish.
