Sick, Sound, Indisposed, Morbid, Feeble, Ailing

• A. Indisposed
• B. Feeble
• C. Sound
• D. Ailing

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sound

Among the given group of words, all words except 'Sound' are adjectives which mean 'Sick or Unwell'.

Option A - 'Indisposed' is an adjective which means 'Unwell, Bed-ridden or Sick', Option B - 'Feeble' is an adjective which means 'Weak, Ailing or Powerless', Option D - 'Ailing' is an adjective which means 'Unwell, Sick or Weak'. These words convey similar meanings but Option C - 'Sound' is an adjective which means the opposite of all these words, ie 'In good condition'.

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