Question

Choose the appropriate synonym for the given word:
Sozzled
A) Cultured
B) Drunk
C) Moderate
D) Burning

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example: the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
The meaning of sozzled is ‘very drunk’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as sozzled.

Option A) Cultured - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of cultured is ‘characterized by refined taste and manners and good education or cultivated or artistic’ and this is not the synonym of sozzled because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Drunk - is the correct answer because the meaning of drunk is ‘affected by alcohol to the extent of losing control of one's faculties or behaviour or intoxicated or incapable’ and this is the synonym of the word sozzled and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option C) Moderate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of moderate is ‘average in amount, intensity, quality, or degree or average or modest’ and this is not the synonym of sozzled because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Burning - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of burning is ‘on fire or blazing or fuming or fiery’ and this is not the synonym of sozzled because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘B’.

Note: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of sozzled is drunk, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of sozzled is sober. Thus, Option B is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word sozzled and other options are wrong.
