b)Wanderer
c)Well – settled
d)Practical
e)Praising

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are words that are similar, or have a related meaning, to another word. They can be used when you want to avoid repeating the same word over and over again.

Complete answer:

The word ‘eulogistic’ comes from the Greek word – eulogia, which means ‘praise; good or fine language’. A Eulogy is a speech or writing in praise of a person (s) or thing (s). For e.g. – She welcomed him with a eulogistic video etc.
Now, the options are –
Prank – is a mischievous act or practical joke or trick. For e.g. – He pulled that prank on us.
Wanderer – the word is used to refer nomads or even travellers (who stay at a place for a short time and then move along). For e.g. – That guy is a solo wanderer.
Well – settled – someone who is fully resolved or determined or someone who is now comfortable and familiar and easy in his/her surroundings. For e.g. – He is a well-settled man for his age.
Practical – means pragmatic or something that is feasible. For e.g. – You should be practical in your life.
Praising – to applaud someone, or express approval or admiration. For e.g. – Your teacher was praising you.
So, as you can see that the synonym would be praising because it has a similar meaning to eulogistic (eulogy). Therefore, the correct solution is an option – ‘e’.
