Question

Choose the one which is nearest in meaning to
SUPERNAL
A) Haughty
B) Official
C) Heavenly
D) Needless

Answer 1

Hint:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example: the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
We must find the meaning of supernal and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of supernal is ‘relating to the sky or the heavens or celestial or lofty or elevated’ and we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as that of supernal.

Option A) Haughty - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of haughty is ‘proud, and thinking that you are better than other people’ and this is not the synonym of supernal because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Official - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of official is ‘connected with the position of somebody in authority’ and this is not the synonym of supernal because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Heavenly - is the correct answer because the meaning of heavenly is ‘connected with heaven or the sky or very pleasant or wonderful’ and this is the synonym of the word supernal and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option D) Needless - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of needless is ‘that is not necessary and that you can easily avoid’ and this is not the synonym of supernal because their meanings are not same. 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. synonym of supernal is heavenly, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of supernal is inferior. Thus, Option C is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word supernal and other options are wrong.
