Complete answer:

We have to find the meaning of queer 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 queer is something or someone is strange or odd. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of queer.
Option A) Interesting - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of interesting is ‘something that catches attention’ and this is not a synonym of queer. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘interesting’ and ‘queer’ does not match.
Option B) Boring - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of boring is ‘something that is not interesting’ and this is not a synonym of queer. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘boring’ and ‘queer’ does not match.
Option C) Strange - is the correct answer because the meaning of strange is ‘being the only one of its kind’ and this is a synonym of queer. Thus, they can replace each other because their meanings are the same or similar.
Option D) Clever - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of clever is ‘quick to understand or learn’ and this is not a synonym of queer. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘clever’ and ‘queer’ does not match.
Option E) Confusing - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of confusing is ‘when things are not clear’ and this is not a synonym of queer. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘confusing’ and ‘queer’ does not match.

She tells all kinds of strange stories, and she enjoyed a large audience.

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