b. Statutory
c. Hostile
d. Disturbing
e. Misfortune

Answer 1

Hint: Words or phrases that have the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or phrase are called synonyms.

Complete step-by-step answer:

The meaning of the word given below immune means protected. The exact meaning or the synonym of the given word will be the option [a] exempt. Exempt means to excuse someone from an obligation. The words immune and exempt are synonymous with each other in the given question. Therefore, the correct option is the option [a].
The word is given in the option [b] statutory means required. The word is given in the option [c] hostile means showing opposition or dislike.
The word is given in the option [d] disturbing means worrying.
The word given in the option [e] misfortune means bad luck.
Therefore, the options [b], [c], [d] and [e] are incorrect as they do not have the similar or nearly the same meaning of the given word. They have their own particular or specific meaning.

Note: You should know the exact meaning of the given word for finding the correct synonym from the options. If you don't know the definition of the given word or the question, do not assume you are good to go, as soon as you find something relatable or you might end up getting the wrong answer, go through all the options thoroughly, as a specific word has multiple synonyms.
