Question

“Capture” most nearly means
A. Control
B. Grab
C. Acquire
D. Win
E. Attract

Answer 1

Hint:Synonym: are words that are similar meanings. Synonyms are used when you do not want to repeat the same word again and again.

Complete answer:
We have to find the meaning of capture and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of capture is the action of capturing or being captured. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as capture.
Option A) Control – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of control is ‘it is the power of influence people’s behavior or command’ and this is not synonymous with capture. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘control’ and ‘capture’ does not match.
Option B) Grab – is the correct answer because the meaning of grab is ‘grasp or seize suddenly and roughly’ and this is the synonym of capture because they both have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Acquire – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of acquire is ‘receive or obtain’ and this is not a synonym of capture. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘acquire’ and ‘capture’ does not match.
Option D) Win - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of win is ‘be successful or victorious in a match or contest’ and this is not a synonym of capture. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘win’ and ‘capture’ does not match.
Option E) Attract – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of attract is ‘cause to have a liking for or interest in something’ and this is not a synonym of capture. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘attract’ and ‘capture’ does not match.
Capture – grab (option B)

Note:
Here we will use a synonym, in this question it is asked to find the meaning of capture. However, synonyms are words that are similar in meaning. So, we will use a synonym. Other options are irrelevant because apart from a grab, no other word explains the meaning of capture.
