Question

Choose the appropriate synonym for the given word:
Dissolute
A) Immoral
B) Honest
C) Repulsive
D) Distant

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 dissolute is ‘living in a way that other people strongly disapprove or corrupt’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of dissolute.

Option A) Immoral - is the correct answer because the meaning of immortal is ‘not conforming to accepted standards of morality or unethical or bad’ and this is the synonym of the word dissolute and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option B) Honest - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of honest is ‘free of deceit; truthful and sincere or truthful or sincere’ and this is not the synonym of dissolute because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Repulsive - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of repulsive is ‘arousing intense distaste or disgust or disgust or revolting’ and this is not the synonym of dissolute because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Distant - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of distant is ‘far away in space or time or faraway or remote or out of the way’ and this is not the synonym of dissolute because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘A’.

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