Question

Choose the correct synonyms of the given word:
Brave

a)Foot
b)Daring
c)Wide
d)Cautious

Answer 1

Hint: The word “brave” is an adjective which means ‘to show courage’ or ‘ready to face or endure danger and pain.’ It is sometimes used as a noun or a verb too

Complete step-by-step answer:

Let us decipher the meaning of the given words to find the correct synonym of the given word. Option a “Foot” is a part of our lower leg, below the ankle, that we use for walking, standing or running. It is also a unit of linear measurement. This is not similar in meaning to the given word “brave”. Thus option ‘a’ is incorrect.

Option c “wide” is an adjective which refers to something that includes a variety of things or people; it also refers to something which has a more than average width. This is unrelated to the given word and thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.

Option d “cautious” is an adjective for someone who is careful and avoids potential problems or dangers. This is opposite in meaning to the word “brave”. Thus, option‘d’ is incorrect.

Option b “daring” is an adjective for someone who is adventurous or audaciously bold in action or thought. This is similar in meaning to the given word. Therefore, the correct answer is option ‘b’.


Note: The words foot and wide are irrelevant to consider and can be eliminated. The choice between the remaining two options becomes simpler. Keep in mind to read the question correctly and do not mark the antonym instead of the synonym.
