Choose the one which is nearest in meaning to
POW-WOW
A. Gossip
B. Meeting
C. Elite
D. Discussion

Answer 1

Hint: A synonym can be defined as a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language. POW-WOW means a meeting for making a major decision.

Complete answer:
-The meaning of POW-WOW is to make necessary and important decisions in a meeting for example my brother’s getting divorced so I am going for a family POW-WOW this weekend. -Option A is Gossip that is an incorrect option as the meaning of gossip is to have a discussion on others lives.
-Option B is meeting means a pre-planned event where people meet to have a discussion on something.
-Option C that is elite which is an incorrect option as the meaning of elite is the group of people who are rich and powerful in the society.
-Option D is discussion which is an incorrect option as the meaning of discussion is to have a talk on a topic by people in which they exchange their thoughts and opinions.

Therefore, the right answer for the above asked question is option B. Meeting as it is the nearest meaning to POW-WOW.


Note: We may think discussion has the nearest meaning to POW-WOW as the meaning of POW-WOW is to have an important discussion over a meeting but it is not true as to have a discussion we have to meet so meeting in this case has the nearest meaning to POW-WOW.
