Question

Choose the best option which expresses the meaning of the given word.
BRASH
A) Slow
B) Cultured
C) Aggressive
D) Humble

Answer 1

Hint:Synonyms are the words that have similar meaning or same meaning. And synonyms are the words that can be used in place of each other. For example: the synonyms of beautiful are pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
The meaning of brash is self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as that of brash.
Option A) Slow - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of slow is ‘low speed or not so fast or not quick’ and this is not the synonym of the word brash. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Cultured - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of slow is ‘characterized by refined taste and manners and good education or civilized or educated’ and this is not the synonyms of the word brash. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Aggressive - is the correct answer because the meaning of aggressive is ‘angry or hostile or rude’ and this is the synonym of the word brash as they have the same or similar meaning and they can replace each other as they have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Humble - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of humble is ‘respectful or showing a modest or unassertive’ and this is not the synonym of the word brash. 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. synonyms of bitterness is acrimony. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C because in question it is asked to give the same or similar meaning and antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of brash is different. Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
