Answer 1

Hint: A place is any area set aside for a particular purpose. For example, bathroom- She uses this bathroom to bathe her dog as well.
Some other examples of places used for a particular purpose- kitchen, garden, mall, farm.

Complete answer:

In the given question, we have to identify the place which is particularly used for washing clothes.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'laundry', refers to a workplace where clothes are washed and ironed.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as it perfectly suits the place where clothes are washed.

Option (b.), ‘mortuary', refers to a building (or room) where dead bodies are kept before burial or cremation.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it does not suit the needed description (a place where clothes are washed).

Option (c.), ‘kit', refers to a case for containing a set of articles.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it does not suit the needed description (a place where clothes are washed).

Option (d.), ‘wardrobe', refers to a tall piece of furniture that provides storage space for clothes; has a door and rails or hooks for hanging clothes; a place where items of clothing are kept.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as it does not suit the needed description (a place where clothes are washed).

So, the correct answer is “Option b”.

Note:
In this question, you can arrive at the right answer by the elimination method in case you are not sure of the correct answer.
Also, remember that ‘laundry’ can also be used as a word to indicate the clothes that are to be washed.
For example- The laundry kept on the table is mine.
