Question

The synonym of the word underlined at [2] is

• A. Beauty
• B. Strength
• C. Splendour
• D. Popularity

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Splendour

A synonym is a word or a phrase that is similar in meaning to another word/phrase.

Option C: 'Glory' means 'magnificence or great beauty'.

'Splendour' means 'magnificent or splendid appearance, grandeur'.

Hence, 'splendour' and 'glory' mean the same, both refer to 'magnificence'.

Hence, option C is correct.

Option A: 'Beauty' means 'a combination of qualities, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight'. It does not mean the same as 'glory'. 'Glory' is a 'grand beauty', it refers to the grandiose of beauty. But, 'beauty' is not 'glory'.

Option B: 'Strength' means 'the quality or state of being physically strong'.

Option D: 'Popularity' means 'the state or condition of being liked or admired'.

These words do not mean the same as 'glory'. Hence, options A, B and D are wrong.
