Question

Choose the synonym of the word given below:
Privilege
A) Opportunity
B) Benefit
C) Freedom
D) Disadvantage

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 privilege is ‘a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of privilege.
Option A) Opportunity - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of opportunity is ‘a time or set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something or chance or good time’ and this is not the synonym of privilege because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Benefit - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of benefit is ‘an advantage or profit gained from something or good or sake or satisfaction’ and this is not the synonym of privilege because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Freedom - is the correct answer because the meaning of freedom is ‘the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants or privilege or due’ and this is the synonym of the word privilege and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Disadvantage - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of disadvantage is ‘an unfavourable circumstance or condition that reduces the chances of success or effectiveness or downside’ and this is not the synonym of privilege 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 privilege is freedom, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of privilege is disadvantage (Option D). Thus, Option C is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word privilege and other options are wrong.
