Question

Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given word:
FERRY
A) Bargain
B) Celebrate
C) Transport
D) Drown

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:
The meaning of ferry is ‘a boat or ship for conveying passengers and goods, especially over a relatively short distance and as a regular service or ferry boat or packet’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as that of ferry.
Option A) Bargain - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of bargain is ‘an agreement between two or more people or groups as to what each will do for the other or understanding or deal’ and this is not the synonym of ferry because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Celebrate - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of celebrate is ‘acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity or honour or mark or observe’ and this is not the synonym of ferry because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Transport - is the correct answer because the meaning of transport is ‘take or carry (people or goods) from one place to another by means of a vehicle, aircraft, or ship or carry or convey’ and this is the synonym of the word ferry and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Drown - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of drown is ‘die through submersion in and inhalation of water or go under’ and this is not the synonym of ferry because their meanings are not the 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 ferry is transport and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of ferry is stay in place descend go advance fall. Thus, Option C is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word ferry and other options are wrong.
