Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:
People in a rowdy scene.
A) Mob
B) Crowd
C) Rabble
D) Congregation

Answer 1

Hint:Substitute means that can be used in place of each other. So, here we have to give one word for the sentence ‘A person who looks on the bright side of things.’

Complete answer:
The meaning of the sentence ‘People in a rowdy scene’ is ‘a big rowdy group of people’.
Option A) Mob - is the correct answer because the meaning of mob is ‘a disorderly or riotous crowd of people’ and this is the one word of the sentence ‘People in a rowdy scene’ and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option B) Crowd - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of crowd is ‘a large number of people in one place’ and this is not the one word of the sentence ‘People in a rowdy scene’. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Rabble - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of rabble is ‘a noisy crowd of people who are or may become violent’ and this is not the one word of the sentence ‘People in a rowdy scene’. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Congregation - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of congregation is ‘
the act of coming together in a crowd or group; a gathering’ and this is not the one word of the sentence ‘People in a rowdy scene’. 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. synonyms of ‘People in a rowdy scene’ is mob, and antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of mob is surrender or society. Thus, Option A is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the sentence and other options are wrong.
