Question

Choose the one which best expresses the meaning of the word "DIVULGE".
A. Reveal
B. Explore
C. Conceal
D. Strip

Answer 1

Hint: Synonym may be a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the name as another word. Explain the word which best explains the meaning of the word Divulge or find the synonym of the word Divulge which means ‘to reveal information or to tell something secret or to make it known’.

Complete answer:
Option A) ‘Reveal’: is the correct option as the word divulge means to reveal information or to tell a secret. Reveal is a synonym of the word Divulge which has the same meaning ‘to disclose the information of something’.
Option B) ‘Explore’: is an incorrect option as it is a verb which means ‘to travel around and to learn something new from that place like lifestyle, culture, etc.’ which shows no relation near to the word ‘Divulge’.
Option C) ‘Conceal’: is an incorrect option as this word means ‘to stop or prevent something or something to be found or discovered and to hide something’ which shows the opposite meaning of the word given.
Option D) ‘Strip’: is an incorrect option as the word means ‘to take something away from someone’ which is not the relevant option to choose.
Thus, the word which best suits the meaning of Divulge is option (A), Reveal.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Divulge can have some other words which are acceptable to use for instance to disclose, to dislodge, or to betray. Remember, whenever the question asks about the opposite word with the same meaning, they’re asking about the synonym which means the word which is acceptable with the same meaning or near to it.
