Question

Choose the one which best expresses the meaning of PREDICT
A) Determine
B) Analyse
C) Foretell
D) Describe

Answer 1

Hint:Synonyms are the words that have similar meaning or same meaning. And synonyms are the words that can be used in place of each other. For example: the synonyms of beautiful are pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
The meaning of predict is forecast or estimate a specific thing that will happen in future. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as predicted.
Option A) Determine - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of determine is ‘control or decide or regulate or direct’ and this is not the synonyms of the word predict. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Analyse - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of analyse is ‘examine or inspect or survey or scan’ and this is not the synonyms of the word predict. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Foretell - is the correct answer because the meaning of foretell is ‘predict or forecast or anticipate the future event or future activity’ and this is the synonym of the word predict as they have the same or similar meaning and they can replace each other as they have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Describe - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of describe is ‘give a detailed account or narrate or relate’ and this is not the synonyms of the word predict. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ C’.

Note: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonyms of bitterness is acrimony. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C because in question it is asked to give the same or similar meaning and antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of predict is ignored. Thus, Option C is correct answer and other options are wrong
