Question

Choose the correct synonym of the following word or phrase.
He completely wrecked the car last night.
A. Transplanted
B. Totalled
C. Tricked
D. Left

Answer 1

Hint:Synonym is a word or phrase that has the same or nearly similar meanings. For example, the word ‘define’ has a synonym describe, explain, interpret, specify etc.

Complete answer:
Option A ‘transplanted’ means replace, relocate, resettle, implant etc. which is incorrect. For example: The boy’s heart was transplanted because he was suffering from a heart disease.

Option B ‘tricked’ means fake, deceive, cheat, screw which is incorrect. For example: He played a trick on his sister by giving her chocolates and getting his homework done.

Option C is correct because ‘completely wrecked’ means destroyed, damaged, totaled etc. For example: The boy completely wrecked the bike in an accident. Here. Wrecked is used for destruction or totaled which is absolutely different from the rest of the options.

Option D ‘left’ means to leave behind, alone, neglected etc. which is also incorrect. For example: Ram left his son to think about his actions performed by him in the school.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘C’.

Note:Antonym is the opposite of the meaning of a word or contrasting meaning. Here, the antonym of wrecked is preserved, healed, rebuilt, fixed etc. which means to protect. For example: The mechanic fixed the tyres of the bus on time otherwise we would not reach the destination.
