Question

Select the synonym for the following word from the options given below:
DELIVER
A) Convey
B) Yield
C) Determined
D) Decide

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words that have same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example: the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete step by step answer:
We have to find the meaning of ‘deliver’ and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of deliver is to take goods, letters, parcels and other meanings of deliver is to bring, take, dispatch, carry and other meanings also. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as to deliver.
Option A) Convey – is the correct answer because the meaning of convey is ‘to make ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. known to somebody’ and this is the meaning of deliver. However, they can be used in place of each other because their meanings are the same. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Yield – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of yield is ‘to produce or provide crops, profits or results’ and this is not the synonym of the word deliver. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Determined – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of determined is ‘having firmly decided to do something or to succeed, even if it is difficult’ and this is not the synonym of the word deliver. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Decide - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of decide is ‘to think about two or more possibilities and choose one of them’ and this is not the synonym of the word deliver. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”

Note:
Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of deliver is convey (though deliver has many meanings: supply, fulfil, convey, carry, transport etc.). So, the most appropriate answer is Option C and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of deliver is collect. Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
