Vocabulary and Synonyms Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Grind

  2. Expands

  3. Accumulate

  4. Grow

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

To vegetate primarily means to grow or develop slowly, especially in a passive or inactive manner. Among the options, 'Grow' directly captures this core meaning of living and developing. 'Grind' means to crush, 'Expands' means to increase in size, and 'Accumulate' means to gather over time - none of which match the primary meaning of vegetate.

Multiple choice
  1. Feud

  2. Possible

  3. Strong

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A feud is a prolonged, bitter quarrel or dispute, often between families or groups that spans generations. This makes it an accurate synonym for dispute. A feud emphasizes ongoing hostility and conflict, which is exactly what a dispute represents. 'Possible' (capability) and 'strong' (power) are unrelated meanings. 'None of these' is incorrect since feud is a valid synonym.

Multiple choice
  1. Closed

  2. Hazardous

  3. Annoyed

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Hazardous is an accurate synonym for risky as both describe something involving danger, risk, or the possibility of harm. Something hazardous poses a threat of injury or damage, which is precisely what risky means. 'Closed' (shut) and 'annoyed' (irritated) have completely different meanings unrelated to risk or danger. 'None of these' is incorrect since hazardous is a valid synonym.

Multiple choice
  1. Sensual

  2. Prim

  3. Uneven

  4. Lower

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Uneven means not level or flat, which relates to something being tilted. When a surface is tilted, it becomes uneven rather than level. 'Sensual' relates to physical senses, 'prim' means neat or formal, and 'lower' indicates downward direction - none match the concept of tilting. While 'slanted' or 'inclined' would be more precise synonyms, 'uneven' is acceptable because tilted surfaces are inherently not level.
