Question

Choose the correct meaning of the given word:
Disparage
A. Command
B. Exalt
C. Undervalue
D. Shallow

Answer 1

Hint:Find the synonym which fits best with the same meaning as ‘Disparage’. The word ‘Disparage’ means ‘to represent something or to regard with little worth’. A synonym is another word that is similar to the meaning of the word given or spoken by anyone.

Complete answer:
Option (A) ‘Command’: is an incorrect option because ‘Command’ means ‘to order or to give an authoritative’ which is not the same meaning as the word ‘Disparage’

Option (B) ‘Exalt’: is an incorrect option because ‘Exalt’ means ‘to speak boastfully of something’ which is the opposite of the word ‘Disparage’.

Option (C) ‘Undervalue’: is the correct option because ‘Undervalue’ means ‘to insufficiently value something’ which means the same as ‘Disparage’ though the word ‘Disparage’ means ‘to represent something or to regard with little worth’ it can also be rewritten as ‘to insufficiently regard someone or to represent something which worth more’.

Option (D) ‘Shallow’: is an incorrect option because ‘Shallow’ means ‘something of little depth’ which is not the same meaning as ‘Disparage’.

Hence, the correct answers are Option ‘C’.

Note:Always find the meaning of the given word and then find its synonym. Whenever a question asks for the meaning of the given word it can easily be done by using its synonym.
