Question 1 Report

In each of the following sentence, there is one underlined word and one gap. from the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning in the underlined word and that will at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.


The road which used to be wide now appears.......because of the new drainage.

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "wide" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence "The road which used to be wide now appears .... because of the new drainage" is "narrow." The word "wide" means broad or spacious, while the word "narrow" means limited or restricted. In this context, the road has become less broad due to the new drainage, so the opposite of "wide" is "narrow." Therefore, "narrow" is the most appropriate word to fill the gap in the sentence.
