Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are words that are similar in meaning. Synonyms are used when you do not want to repeat the same word again and again.

Complete step by step answer:

We have to find the meaning of endangering 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 endangering is putting someone or something at risk or danger. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is same as of urge.
Option A) Reckless – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of reckless is ‘rash or consequences of one’s action’ and this is not meaning (or synonym) of endangering. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘reckless’ and ‘endangering’ does not match.
Option B) Imperil – is the correct answer because the meaning of imperil is ‘injured or destroyed’ and this is the correct meaning of endangering. Thus, this is the correct answer and these words can replace each other because they have similar meanings.
Option C) Risky - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of risky is ‘possibility of failure, danger or loss’ and this is not meaning (or synonym) of endangering. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘risky’ and ‘endangering’ does not match.
Option D) Threatening - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of threatening is ‘having a hostile, bullying’ and this is not meaning (or synonym) of endangering. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘threatening’ and ‘endangering’ does not match.
The meaning of endangering is imperil.

Note: It is very important to know the meaning of synonyms (and synonyms indicates the meaning of the words) and also to know the meaning of the words that are given in the options. And for this, your vocabulary should be very good. So work on vocabulary every day. Read every day, learn new words every day, look up words you don’t know.
