E. Collaboration

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we need to look for the synonym of the given word ‘urge’. 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 Urge means: a strong desire, yearning or impulse, etc.
Now let’s examine and understand the given option above.

> Repulse: When you don’t like something, disgusting and horrible, dislike, refuse, reject, deny, etc. As this word has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: repel, fight back, drive away, etc.

> Addition: It is the action or a process of adding something to something else. As this word has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: Inclusion, incorporation, etc.

> Sensation: When we feel something after being touched, if something affects our body parts then we feel something that is called sensation, etc. As this word also has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: commotion, uproar, etc.

> Collaboration: Working together, helping each other in order to get all the work done, etc. As this word also has different meaning so it can’t be an appropriate option.
Synonym: cooperation, partnership, etc.

> Desire: A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing something to happen. Here the word desire has the same meaning “urge, yearning or impulse, etc”. As it is related and defining the sentence in most appropriate way,
Synonym: Impulse, preference, want, etc.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

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.
