Hint:A synonym is a name, morpheme, or phrase that in the same language signifies exactly or almost the same as another name, morpheme, or phrase. The terms begin, start, begin, and initiate, for instance, are all synonyms of one another; they are synonymous.

Complete answer:
Words which are close in meaning to each other are often considered as synonyms for each other. The word 'Appraisal' means formally and thoroughly assessing someone and then making a decision or estimate of their results. In terms of relevance to the word, both 'Enlightenment' and 'Application' are meaningless, ruling out Alternatives B) and D); and while 'Application' is only tangentially related to the word. Thus,' Estimate' is the nearest to 'Assessment' in context, leaving us with the correct answer A.

Additional Information:
The act of estimating or judging something or somebody's existence or worth. Value calculation, as for sale, appraisal or taxation; assessment. An approximation or considered opinion of the type, content, meaning, etc: the evaluation of pop art by critics; an inaccurate estimation of public opinion

Hence the correct answer is ‘A’.

Note:Try to understand the meaning of the word given, and look at the options given. Differentiate as they have a difference in context between each of the choices. Choose the most suitable choice, i.e. the choice nearest to the given word in terms of context.
