Answer 1

Hint: If Roshan is in jeopardy, it means he is in trouble. In more formal terms, jeopardy means to be in danger of failure, loss or harm. To choose the correct answer, we need to find out which word means the closest to “trouble”.

Complete answer:

We have to select the word which best expresses the given word. Therefore, we have to select the word which is similar to the given word.
The word jeopardy means to be in trouble. If I am facing some difficulty in life about something, I am in jeopardy. Therefore, the correct answer is option d, danger. Being in danger means you are in trouble. If you have not submitted your homework in time, you are in danger of getting punished by the teacher. That means you are in trouble.
Option a is magic. Magic is something supernatural. It is used as entertainment for children. It has no relation to the meaning of jeopardy. It is the wrong answer.
Option b is an adventure. An adventure is an exciting experience. We read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies on an adventure. This is also not the correct answer.
Option c is enmity. You have enmity with your enemies. I have enmity with John because he always complains to the teacher about me. Therefore, this also does not mean something similar to jeopardy.

Note: To answer such questions, we need to be aware of the correct meanings of the words. Using the word in a sentence of your own will help to understand the meaning. It is advised to students to build a good vocabulary by reading a lot of books so that the correct answer can be easily figured out.
