Question

Choose the appropriate synonym of the given word:
Reiterate
A) Frustrate
B) Illustrate
C) Repeat
D) Deny
E) Receipt

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:
We must find the meaning of reiterate 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 reiterate is ‘to repeat an opinion, statement, etc. that has already been said to make the meaning clear or to emphasize it. For example: The Professor reiterates the important points of his lecture’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as to reiterate.

Option A) Frustrate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of frustrate is ‘to cause a person to feel annoyed or impatient because he/she cannot do or achieve what he/she wants’ and this is not the synonym of reiterate because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Illustrate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of illustrate is ‘to explain or make something clear by using examples, pictures or diagrams’ and this is not the synonym of reiterate because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Repeat - is the correct answer because the meaning of repeat is ‘to say, write or do something again or more than once’ and this is the synonym of the word reiterate and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option D) Deny - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of deny is ‘to state that something is not true; to refuse to admit or accept something’ and this is not the synonym of reiterate because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option E) Receipt - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of receipt is ‘a piece of paper that is given to show that you have paid for something or it an act of receiving something’ and this is not the synonym of reiterate because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of reiterate is repeat, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of reiterate is forget it or call off. Thus, Option C is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word reiterate and other options are wrong.
