Question

The synonym of the word underlined at [4] is __________.

• A. Filling
• B. Satisfying
• C. Extinguishing
• D. Wetting

Answer 1

The correct option is C Extinguishing

Option C: 'Quenching' means 'to extinguish (or stop a fire)'.

So, 'extinguishing' is a synonym of 'quenching' and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Filling' means 'cause to become full or almost full'.

Option B: 'Satisfying' means 'to meet the expectations or desires of'.

Option D: 'Wetting' means 'to cover or touch with liquid, making something moist'.

These words do not mean the same as 'putting off a fire'.

Hence, options A, B and D are wrong.
