Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word.
It’s incredible to see him in such good health after the accident.
a)Creditable
b)Unthinkable
c)Increasing
d)Imperative
e)Corruptive

Answer 1

Hint: Synonym means a word or phrase that has similarity in meaning with the given word. In this question, the meaning of the term ‘Incredible’ is impossible or difficult to believe or imagine.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Option a is the incorrect option. The term ‘creditable’ is an adjective given to something that deserves public praise or acknowledgment although it is not extraordinary or extremely successful but is worthy enough to be praised. The term doesn’t do justice to the meaning of the sentence and its meaning is different from the given word in the sentence and so it cannot be its synonym.
Option b is also correct. The term ‘Unthinkable’ is used for an event or a situation that is impossible or difficult to imagine. The sentence describes one such event where his good health was not considered a possibility after such an accident but in reality, he was in good health which seems difficult to believe.
Option c is also incorrect. The term means becoming greater in size, amount, degree; it means growing. The word isn’t the synonym of Incredible and doesn’t suit the sentence as well.
Option d is also incorrect. ‘Imperative’ means crucial or very important. The sentence doesn’t talk about the importance of his health but shows the awe behind his good health after an unfortunate incident.
Option e is also incorrect. This term is given to something that is fraudulent and hence doesn’t comply with the meaning of the underlined word or the sentence.

Note: Creditable means something worthy of praise but is not regarded as outstanding and Unthinkable is something outstanding. Do not confuse between option a and option b.
