DREGS

Answer 1

Hint:Synonyms are the words that have similar meaning or same meaning. And synonyms are the words that can be used in place of each other. For example: the synonyms of beautiful are pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
The meaning of dregs is deposits or residue or remains or slops. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as that of dregs.
Option A) Cream - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of cream is ‘lotion or ointment or cosmetic or application’ and this is not the synonyms of the word dregs. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Power - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of power is ‘potential or authority or ability or capability’ and this is not the synonym of the word dregs. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Debris - is the correct answer because the meaning of debris is ‘scattered pieces of rubbish or remains or waste or litter’ and this is the synonym of the word dregs as they have the same or similar meaning and they can replace each other as they have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Accoutrements - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of accoutrements is ‘an additional item of dress or equipment’ and this is not the synonyms of the word dregs. 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 dregs is debris. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C because in question it is asked to give the same or similar meaning and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of dregs is cream (Option A – cream already given in the option and both are opposite in meaning). Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
