Question

The synonym of the word underlined at [5] is ____________.

• A. Miserable
• B. Longing
• C. Angry
• D. Afar

Answer 1

The correct option is A Miserable

'Forlorn' means 'pitifully sad and abandoned or lonely'.

Option A: 'Miserable' means 'unhappy or uncomfortable'. 'Unhappy' means the same as 'sad', and hence 'miserable' also means the same as 'forlorn': both mean 'unhappy' and 'sad'.

Hence, option A is correct.

Option B: 'Longing' means 'a yearning desire'.

Option C: 'Angry' means 'feeling or showing strong annoyance',

Option D: 'Afar' means 'at or to a distance'.

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