Question

Choose the synonym of the word given below:
Bitterness
A) Mildness
B) Kindness
C) Acrimony
D) Sweetness

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 step by step answer:
We have to find the meaning of bitterness and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of bitterness is sharpness of taste or lack of sweetness. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as bitterness.
Option A) Mildness – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of mildness is ‘lack of intensity or softness’ and this is not the synonym of the word bitterness. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Kindness – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of kindness is ‘the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate’ and this is not the synonym of the word bitterness. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Acrimony – is the correct answer because the meaning of acrimony is ‘bitterness or ill feeling’ and this is the synonym of the word bitterness as they have same or similar meaning and they can replace each other as they have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Sweetness – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of sweetness is ‘pleasant quality of something or someone or sweet smell or taste of something’ and this is not synonymous with bitterness. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. the synonym of bitterness is acrimony. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of bitterness is sweetness (Option D). Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
