Question

Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given word.
DEMIT
A) Promote
B) Judge
C) Appoint
D) Resign

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:
Let us individually analyse the answer to figure out the correct one
The meaning of demit is ‘resign from (an office or position)’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of demit.
Option A) Promote - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of promote is ‘support or actively encourage (a cause, venture, etc.); further the progress of or encourage or assist’ and this is not the synonym of demit because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Judge - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of judge is ‘a public officer appointed to decide cases in a law court or justice or magistrate’ and this is not the synonym of demit because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Appoint - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of appointment is ‘assign a job or role to (someone) or nominate or designate’ and this is not the synonym of demit because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Resign - is the correct answer because the meaning of resign is ‘voluntarily leave a job or office’ and this is the synonym of the word demit and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of demit is resign and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of demit is claim or appropriate. Thus, Option D is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word demit and other options are wrong.
