Question

Identify the correct meaning of the given word:
Baton
A) Cargo
B) Band
C) Stick
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:A baton is a thin cylindrical rod made of different kinds of material like iron, wood or even rubber at times. These are typically used as weapons by servants of law, which helps them defend themselves during the times of need while performing their duties.

Complete answer:
Option A – Cargo: This is referred to a huge amount of goods that are transported from one place to another (typically to other countries or even continents) by means of planes, ships or land vehicles. This is not the right option.
Option B – Band: This word means two things – one is used to hold things together, typically made of rubber and the other is a group of musicians who join together for musical performances. This is not the right option.
Option C – Stick: This word has close connection to the given definition. A baton is sometimes just a stick, which may be used by security guards or people who handle prisoners. This is the right option.
Option D – As we selected Option C as the right answer this option is invalid.

Hence option ‘C’ is the correct answer.

Notes:A baton is also called a club at times; it bears the symbol or the emblem of the organization that uses it. It is usually heavy and used by qualified people only.A phrase ‘pass the baton’ is used when someone is transferring their roles and responsibilities to another person.
