Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word:
Generally, the memories cluster around certain topics.

A) Flee
B) Pilfer
C) Loaf
D) Meddle
E) Bunch

Answer 1

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

Complete answer:

We have to find the meaning of the cluster 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 cluster is a group of things or people that are positioned together and we have to find the word that is in similar meaning.
Option A) Flee – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of flee is ‘run away from a situation or a place’ and this is not a synonym of a cluster. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘flee’ and ‘cluster’ does not match.
Option B) Pilfer - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of pilfer is ‘stealing things’ and this is not a synonym of a cluster. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘pilfer’ and ‘cluster’ does not match.
Option C) Loaf - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of pilfer is ‘stealing things’ and this is not a synonym of a cluster. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘pilfer’ and ‘cluster’ does not match.
Option D) Meddle - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of meddle is ‘interfering in someone else’s matter’ and this is not a synonym of a cluster. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘meddle’ and ‘cluster’ does not match.
Option E) Bunch – is the correct answer because the meaning of the bunch is ‘growing or fastened together’ which is similar to the meaning of cluster. And this is the synonym of each other. Thus this is the correct answer as both the words have the same meaning.
Generally, the memories bunch around certain topics.

Note: It is very important to know the meaning of synonyms 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.
