Question
Choose the correct synonym of the word highlighted in
each sentence from the alternatives given below it. Â He was the benevolent ruler.Solution
"Benevolent" is an adjective that describes someone or something that is characterized by goodwill, kindness, and a desire to do good. (a) Cruel: "Cruel" means willfully causing pain or suffering to others. It is the opposite of benevolent, which means showing kindness and goodwill. Therefore, "cruel" is not the correct synonym in this context. (b) Kind: "Kind" means having a gentle and considerate nature, showing goodwill and compassion. In the context of the sentence, a benevolent ruler is one who is characterized by kindness and a desire to do good for their subjects. Therefore, "kind" is the correct synonym. (c) Unorganized: "Unorganized" refers to lacking organization or structure. It doesn't convey the meaning of being a compassionate and generous ruler, so it is not the correct synonym. (d) Good: While "good" is a general term for something positive, it is not as specific as "benevolent" in describing a ruler's character. "Benevolent" implies a specific kind of goodness related to acts of goodwill and kindness. Therefore, "good" is not as precise a synonym in this context.
