Question

Choose the most suitable one word for the following phrase.
A field or a part of a garden where fruit trees grow
A) Park
B) Nursery
C) Yard
D) Orchard

Answer 1

Hint: The correct option is a word that refers to a place where trees are intentionally grown and maintained for food production. It is similar to a crop field except the plants grown here are not crops but rather full-grown trees. It is synonymous with the phrase ‘Fruit Garden.’

Complete answer:
Let us consider all the given options and see which of them is a field or a garden used for growing fruit trees, as demanded by the question.

Now let us look into the given options:
Option A) Park – is a space, natural or planted space put away for human satisfaction and amusement or for the security of untamed life or characteristic natural surroundings. Metropolitan parks are green spaces put away for amusement inside towns and urban areas. It is not meant for growing fruit trees. Thus, this option is incorrect.
Option B) Nursery – a location where plants are grown for relocating, for use as stock for growing and uniting, or for sale. Woody and herbaceous plants, such as decorative trees, bushes, and bulb crops, are delivered and circulated by commercial nurseries. The nursery industry also includes natural product plants and some perennial vegetables, but it is not a garden for growing fruit trees. Hence, this option is wrong.
Option C) Yard – is a piece of land that is directly adjacent to a structure or a group of structures. It may be enclosed or exposed. It cannot be used as a garden for growing fruit trees. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option D) Orchard – is a planned planting of trees or shrubs for the purpose of food production. Orchards are areas where fruit- or nut-producing trees are grown for commercial purposes. Orchards can also be found in vast gardens, where they serve both an aesthetic and a functional purpose. Thus, this is the correct option.

So the correct answer is Option (D) Orchard.

Note: Collection of words that do not form a sentence are called phrases. One such collection of words is given in the question, “a field or a part of a garden where fruit trees grow”. This sentence has the exact same meaning as what is intended by the question or the words describing it. Hence it is a phrase. If this phrase had a figurative meaning and meant something completely different from its literal meaning, then it would have been an idiom.
