Question

Choose the option which is nearest in meaning to the given phrase in bold in the sentence. Indicate your option-
Indians exhibited a remarkable solidarity at the time of war.
a) Coalition
b) Co-operation
c) Unification
d) Unity

Answer 1

Hint: The given word is ‘Solidarity' which means the agreement between and support and support for the members of a group, especially a political group.

Complete answer:
  It is union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities and interests, as between members of a group or between classes, peoples, etc. For eg. Yet there is a solidarity between the chosen few and the masses which produce them; each has a duty to the other.
We will examine each option carefully and try to find out the meaning of each option and figure out the answer through it:
Option 'a' is a coalition which means - a government formed by two or more political parties working together. For eg. The groups United to form a coalition.
Option ‘b’ co-operation means the process of groups of organisms working or acting together for common, mutual, or some underlying benefit, as opposed to working in competition for selfish benefit. For eg. Every kind of peaceful co-operation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondly on institutions such as courts of justice and police.
Option ‘c’ unification means the act of unifying different laws valid for different phenomena into a single theory that explains all the different phenomena. For eg., An extreme cultural divide was overcome with the unification of nations around the beer tap.
Option ‘d’ unity means the situation in which people are in agreement and working together. For eg. You know they believe in national unity and rights for the poor.
After analyzing each option carefully, we came to the point that option 'd' is the right answer. So the option nearest to the above phrase is “unity”.

Note:
 All the other options are plausible distractions. 'Unification' can't be the correct answer as it talking about 'unity' but has a different meaning than that of 'unity' itself.
