Question

Chosen the synonym of the given word:
AFFRONT
a) Exile
b) Contour
c) Eruption
d) Indignity

Answer 1

Hint: The word “Affront” means to insult especially to the face by behavior or language. For e.g., ‘He was affronted by her rudeness.’

Complete answer:
 Let us look at the options given to us and find the correct synonym of the word.
Option a “exile” is a state or a period of forced absence from one’s country or home. “He was sent on a 10 year exile by his own father.” This is not synonymous to the given word “affront”. Thus, option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option b “contour” means to outline, especially representing the boundary of a shape or form of something. “Contour is an important part of makeup.” This is not synonymous to the word “affront”. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.
Option c “Eruption” is an act or instance of erupting. For e.g., “The volcanic eruption was the first inb the last 5 centuries.”. This is not similar in meaning to the word “affront”. Thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option d “Indignity” means treatment or circumstances that cause one to feel shame or to lose one's dignity. “Indignity will lead you nowhere.” This is similar in meaning to the meaning of “affront”. Thus, option ‘d’ is the correct answer.

Note:
Indignity is the opposite of dignity which means, the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. Thus, indignity would mean the opposite of it.
