Directions: The question below consists of a word, followed by four words or phrases. Choose the word or phrase that means most nearly the same thing.

heed

Heed means to pay attention to, notice, or follow advice. 'Obey' is the closest synonym among the options as it relates to following instructions or warnings, though 'pay attention to' would be more precise. 'Kindness' is a noun meaning generosity, 'droll' means amusing in an odd way, and 'pretender' is someone claiming to be something they're not - none match heed.
