Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.
I worship the __________ of Lord Shiva.
a) Ideal
b) Idol
c) Idle
d) Autograph

Answer 1

Hint: In the Hindu religion we worship an image or representation (made of stones or other materials). Therefore, we need a word that defines such representations.

Complete answer:
Before finding the correct solution let us look into the meaning of the options that we have as knowing the meaning would help us understand which one is the correct solution and why.
Option (a) – ideal: something or someone who is perceived or regarded as perfect or most suitable. For example, the swimming pool is ideal for kids.
Option (b) – idol: is an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship. For example, that is the idol of Lord Ganesha.
Option (c) – idle: someone who is doing nothing or avoids work or is lazy or has no purpose. For example: don’t sit around idle.
Option (d) – autograph: is a signature of a celebrity or just a signature. For example I got his autograph while I was at the party.
Now, in the Hindu religion, we worship an image or representation (made of stones or other materials). Therefore, we need a word that defines such representations.
So, as per the requirement, we can see from the above explanation that the correct answer would be option (b), i.e. idol.

Note:
This is a very simple question to use the elimination method to eliminate the obviously wrong answers like an autograph.
