Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given word.
VEER
A) Shift
B) Dominate
C) Delegate
D) Concentrate

Answer 1

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

Complete answer:
Let us individually analyse the answer to figure out the correct one
The meaning of veer is ‘change direction suddenly or skew or swing’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of veer.
Option A) Shift - is the correct answer because the meaning of a shift is ‘move or cause to move from one place to another, especially over a small distance or transport or convey’ and this is the synonym of the word veer and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Dominate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of a dominant is ‘have power and influence over or command or control or influence’ and this is not the synonym of veer because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Delegate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of a delegate is ‘a person sent or authorized to represent others, in particular an elected representative sent to a conference or representative or envoy’ and this is not the synonym of veer because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Concentrate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of a concentrate is ‘focus all one's attention on a particular object or activity or focus or direct’ and this is not the synonym of veer because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Synonyms are the words that have same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of veer is shift, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of veer is straighten, keep to, retain, stay, endure, remain. Thus, Option A is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word veer and other options are wrong.
