Question

 The actor raised his voice in order to be audible on the balcony.
A. Musical
B. Dramatic
C. Solitary
D. Heard
E. Appreciated

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we need to look for the synonym of the given word ‘audible’. Let us first understand what synonyms mean – Two words with a nearly common meaning or same meaning words are called synonyms.

Complete answer:
The word audible means: that can be heard, loud enough to be heard, detectable, etc.
Now let’s examine and understand the given option above.

> Musical: Things that are connected with playing or studying music, rhythmic, connected to song; music, etc. As this word is not defining the sentence appropriately so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: melodic, tuneful, sweet-sounding, harmonious, etc.

> Dramatic: An act which is done suddenly, noticeable, impressive, surprising, etc. As this word has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: considerable, substantial, goodly, etc.

> Solitary: Without companions, doing something alone, enjoying being alone and single, etc. As this word has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: lone, only, individual, sole, etc.

> Appreciated: Being praised by someone, to recognize someone for how good he is, etc. As this word also has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: cherish value, respect, acknowledge, etc.

> Heard: Here the word heard has the same meaning “audible, detectable, etc”. As it is related and defines the sentence in the most appropriate way.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: For choosing the correct option knowing actual meaning is necessary of the given question because synonym is something which defines the word having the same meaning. Try to identify the meaning of the word and evaluate whether it has a positive negative or neutral connotation.
