Question

Crew means ____________.
A) People working in an office
B) People working on a ship
C) People working on a farm
D) People working in a school

Answer 1

Hint: The term ‘crew’ that is given in the question is used to refer to those people who work together on a vessel.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question, we are asked to choose the correct meaning of the given word from the given options.
To do this, let us first understand the meaning of the word, crew. Crew refers to a group of people who work together on a ship or aircraft.
Now that we know this, let us take a look at the given options and check which one gives the correct meaning of the word as described above.
Options ‘A’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ are incorrect as the meanings expressed by each of these options do not match with the meaning of the word crew as explained above. That is, it does not refer to people who work in office, farm or school. Therefore, we can see that the correct answer is option ‘B’, people working together on a ship as it has the same meaning as explained above as the word ship is a synonym for the word vessel.
The crew can also refer simply to a group of people who work together, but we have to look for the meaning according to the given question’s context and verify with the given options. Such an option is not given and hence, this cannot be an appropriate answer.
Hence option (B) is correct.

Note: In a situation where the meaning of the given option is not clear, use the elimination method and remove the options that you think are least likely to be right. This will help you to narrow down your choices and eventually reach the correct answer.
