Question

Select the most appropriate synonym of the word given below:
Plush

a)Comforting
b)Luxurious
c)Tasty
d)Delicious

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words which have the same meaning and one word can be substituted for the other, without changing the context.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Plush as a noun means an expensive piece of silk, wool, or cotton. And as an adjective, it means of high quality.
 In the questions where we have to find a synonym or an antonym of a particular word, we begin with recalling the meaning of the given word and then eventually move to the options, doing the same. We finally narrowed down to the common word with the same meaning as the question and the correct option.
We have our first option as Comforting, which means ‘something that soothes or relaxes’. This explanation is not standing anywhere near the meaning of Plush. Hence option a is incorrect.
Our second alternative is ‘Luxurious’ which means something elegant, classy, and involves heavy expenses. Since both, the word in the question and the word in this option involve the phrase ‘ highly expensive’, these words are synonyms. Therefore option b is correct.
Tasty means something good to eat, this word does not fall anywhere near to the meaning of Plush, so, option c is also incorrect.
The d option is incorrect because Delicious is used with food, and it does not correlate with expenses, high or low.

Note: Synonyms are the words with the same meanings and Antonyms are the words with opposite meanings.
