Question

Choose the most suitable one word for the given expression.
Things that can be felt or touched
A) Pandemic
B) Palpable
C) Paltry
D) Panchromatic

Answer 1

Hint: Expression is an act of expressing words or written expression is the ability to convey meaning through writing.

Complete step by step answer:
Option A) Pandemic – is the correct answer because the meaning of pandemic is ‘widespread or prevalent or pervasive’ and this we cannot touch but can only be felt. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Palpable – is the correct answer because the meaning of palpable is ‘a feeling or atmosphere so intense as to seem almost tangible or noticeable or appreciable or palpable means able to be felt or touched’ and this is the most suitable one word for the expression ‘Things that can be felt or touched’. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Paltry – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of paltry is ‘very small amount‘. Thus this is not the correct word for the expression, so, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Panchromatic – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of panchromatic is ‘sensitive to all visible colours of the spectrum’ and this is not one word for the expression. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
The meaning of expression ‘Things that can be felt or touched’ is something that can have both qualities felt or touched. Thus, Option B is the most appropriate answer as the meaning of palpable is the same as of the expression given in the question. Thus, Option B is the correct answer and the rest are wrong.
