Directions:

In each of the following questions, select from amongst the four alternatives the word or group of words nearest in meaning to the word given in capitals.

Question :6

TENUOUS

Answer: (b)

'Tenuous' generally is used to mean 'thin' or 'slight'. But it also means 'rarefied' ('less dense' or 'refined'). None of the given options is a synonym of 'tenuous'. But option (c) is close to the meaning of 'refined', in the sense of 'clarified'—'made clear'. So 'meaningful' would be the answer here.

Question :7

OBSOLETE

Answer: (a)

'Obsolete' is 'to fall into disuse' such as obsolete things or obsolete customs. 'Unused' means 'not put to use' or 'never having been used'. 'Misused' means used in a wrong manner or for the wrong purpose.

Question :8

KINDLED

Answer: (c)

The literal meaning of 'kindle' is 'to set fire' or 'light up'. The meaning in the sense of 'aroused' is figurative, as in to kindle one's interest or passions. The literal meaning is to be given precedence over the figurative meaning.

Question :9

JETTISONED

Answer: (b)

To 'jettison' is to throw off something as an obstacle or burden.

Question :10

VERACITY

Answer: (a)
