D Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks for the option that is NOT a synonym of 'knight.' 'Knight' refers to a mounted soldier or noble warrior. 'Cavalier' (horseman), 'chevalier' (French for knight), and 'paladin' (champion/warrior) all refer to similar warrior roles. 'Cause' is an abstract principle or aim - not a person or role.

'Jam' means to squeeze or pack tightly into a space. 'Thrust', 'squeeze', and 'cram' are all synonyms involving forcing something into a confined space. 'Midget' is a noun referring to a very short person (now considered offensive), which is completely unrelated to the action of jamming.
