Synonyms

Sion's name is derived from the Marathi word 'Shiva' meaning boundary or limit, and Jesuits built a chapel there named after Mount Zion in Jerusalem. This matches the historical and etymological description perfectly. Bandra, Elphinstone Road, and Byculla don't fit this description.

Endeavor means to try hard to do or achieve something. 'Attempt' is a direct synonym - both describe the act of trying to accomplish something. 'Fail' is an antonym (opposite), 'success' is the potential outcome of an endeavor (not the act itself), and 'try again' suggests repetition rather than the act itself.

Petulant means 'unreasonably irritable or ill-tempered', making 'easily irritable' the correct synonym. Lazy and lovable are completely different concepts. 'Mush' appears to be a nonsensical distractor. Petulant describes someone who becomes annoyed easily, often over small matters.

Proclivity means a natural tendency to behave in a particular way or to like something. 'Tendency' is the correct synonym. Backwardness is the opposite. Slope and rise are literal meanings of related words but not synonyms for proclivity in this context.

Trenchant means 'sharp, incisive, or forcefully clear' in expression or thought. 'Clear' is the closest synonym among the options. It can describe a cutting remark, keen observation, or forceful argument. 'Good', 'open', and 'worst' do not capture the specific meaning of trenchant.

'Outlook' is a synonym for attitude or perspective, as in 'outlook on life.' This wordplay makes MS Outlook the answer, as it's the only Office application sharing a name with an attitude synonym (Access, PowerPoint, and Excel do not).

Banter means playful or teasing conversation. Among the options, 'tease' is the closest synonym - it captures the playful, mildly mocking quality that characterizes banter. The example shows in-laws teasing a newly married couple, which is classic banter.

Solitaire can mean a single gemstone, but in card games, 'patience' is the British term for solitaire card games. The word solitaire comes from French meaning solitary or alone. 'Cards' is the game type, not a synonym. 'Jwellry' is misspelled and 'singuler' is also misspelled and incorrect.

This is a duplicate of question 15833. Solitaire can mean a single gemstone, but in card games, 'patience' is the British term for solitaire card games. The word solitaire comes from French meaning solitary or alone. 'Cards' is the game type, not a synonym. 'Jwellry' is misspelled and 'singuler' is also misspelled and incorrect.

Vagabond means a person who has no fixed home and wanders from place to place. The synonym refers to someone who leads a nomadic or unsettled lifestyle without permanent residence.

Sub rosa is a Latin phrase literally meaning 'under the rose,' symbolizing secrecy or confidentiality. Something done sub rosa is done privately, secretly, or confidentially - not openly. 'Public' (A) is the opposite meaning, while 'Open minded' (C) refers to personality, not secrecy.

Largess (or largesse) refers to generosity in bestowing money, gifts, or favors upon others - it means the quality of being generous or liberal in giving. A generous person shows largess, making 'generous' (C) the correct synonym. 'Sorrow' (A) and 'Theft' (B) are unrelated meanings.

Protean means versatile, adaptable, or capable of assuming many forms - derived from Proteus, the Greek sea god who could change his shape. This makes 'versatile' (A) the correct synonym. 'Lazy' (B) and 'banal' (C) are incorrect - protean celebrates adaptability, not dullness or lack of effort.

In British slang (particularly 19th century), 'quod' was a colloquial term for prison or jail - possibly derived from Latin 'in quo' (in which [one is put]) or architectural references to prison quadrangles. This makes 'prison' (C) the correct answer, though it's an obscure usage.

To search for a word and include pages containing similar-meaning words (synonyms), use the tilde (~) operator before the word. For example, '~hiking' will return results for hiking AND similar terms like trekking, walking, backpacking. This is called the synonym operator. Option D is correct.
