Question

Choose the appropriate synonym for the given word: Rejoice
A. Rejoin
B. Rebuild
C. Rename
D. Delight
E. Lighten

Answer 1

Hint: The word rejoice means happiness. This is related to an act of joy or pleasure. Therefore, its synonym will also have a similar meaning.

Complete answer:
Analyzing the given options, we can identify the appropriate synonym for the given word.
- Rejoin means to join something again. This can be used in the context of a place, group, job and others. But this is not similar to the word Rejoice. Therefore, option A is wrong.
- Option B is 'rebuild'. It means to construct something again. This word is also not related or similar to the word rejoice as it does not mean happiness. Therefore, option B is also incorrect.
- Rename means to give a different name to someone or something that already has a name. This word is nowhere related to the word rejoice and therefore it cannot be the synonym of the word rejoice. Thus, option C is also incorrect.
- The word delight means to be happy and cheerful. This represents the state of pleasure and jolliness. This means that delight is similar in meaning to the word rejoice and they both are synonyms. Therefore, option D can be a possible answer.
- Lighten means to reduce the weight or burden of someone or something. This is also not similar in meaning to the word rejoice. Therefore, option E is also an incorrect option.

> Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Note: A word can have multiple synonyms that mean many words have similar meanings and can be used interchangeably.
