Question

Choose the synonym of the word given below:
Blessed
A) Holy
B) Curse
C) Condemned
D) Immortal

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 blessed is ‘made holy or confounded or consecrated’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of blessed.
Option A) Holy - is the correct answer because the meaning of holy is ‘dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred or sacred or hallowed’ and this is the synonym of the word blessed and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Curse - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of curse is ‘a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something’ and this is not the synonym of blessed because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Condemned - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of condemned is ‘sentenced to a particular punishment, especially death or lost or sentenced’ and this is not the synonym of blessed because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Immortal - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of immortal is ‘living forever; never dying or decaying or undying or deathless’ and this is not the synonym of blessed because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ A’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of blessed is holy. So, the most appropriate answer is Option A and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of blessed is curse (Option B). Thus, Option C is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word blessed and other options are wrong.
