Question

Choose the correct synonym of the following word:
Get your hands off me.
a) Pole
b) Paws
c) Pagoda
d) Arms

Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘hand’ refers to the part of a person’s arm beyond the wrist which usually has a palm, four fingers, and a thumb.

Complete answer:
Let us look at the words given to us and find the correct synonym of the word ‘hands.’ Option a ‘pole’ is a noun which refers to a long, slender cylindrical structure of wood or metal with one end placed in the ground, usually to support something. This is not related to the word ‘hands’ in any way. Thus, option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option b ‘paws’ refers to an animal’s paw having claws and pads. For example, “The pup had small and soft paws.” This is similar to what a hand is in humans. Thus, option ‘b’ is the correct answer.
Option c ‘pagoda’ refers to a temple or some sacred building, usually with a pyramid-like structure. This is unrelated to the term ‘hands’ in any way. Thus, the option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option ‘d’ ‘arms’ refers to the upper limbs of the human body from the shoulder to hand. Hands are beyond the wrist. Hands are a part of limbs, but arms and hands cannot be synonymous. Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.

Note:
The word ‘paws’ is informally used to refer to human hands, especially ones that are raw, rough, and clumsy.
