Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word:
The President was given no hint regarding the new project.

A) Details
B) Authority
C) Explanation
D) Indication

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms 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 hints 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 hint is giving an idea of how to do things. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as a hint.
Option A) Details - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of details is ‘giving facts’ and this is not a synonym of hint. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘details’ and ‘hint‘ does not match.
Option B) Authority - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of authority is ‘giving someone the power to act in a particular way’ and this is not a synonym of hint. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘authority’ and ‘hint‘ does not match.
Option C) Explanation - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of explanation is ‘giving detailed information about something or someone’ and this is not a synonym of hint. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘explanation’ and ‘hint‘ does not match.
Option D) Indication – is the correct answer because the meaning of indication is ‘giving a piece of information’ and this is the synonym of hint because they both have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
The President was given no indication regarding the new project.

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.
