Question
Choose the correct synonym of the word highlighted in
each sentence from the alternatives given below it. She was relaxed and convivialSolution
"Convivial" is an adjective used to describe an atmosphere or a person that is friendly, sociable, and characterized by a lively and enjoyable demeanor. (a) Lazy: "Lazy" refers to a lack of willingness to work or use energy. It is not a synonym for "convivial," which means characterized by friendliness and a lively, sociable nature. "Lazy" does not convey the sense of being sociable or friendly. (b) Excited: "Excited" means having a heightened state of emotion, usually positive. While someone who is excited may also be in a positive mood, it doesn't capture the specific sociable and friendly aspect of "convivial." Therefore, "excited" is not the best synonym in this context. (c) Friendly: "Friendly" is the correct synonym for "convivial." Both terms describe a person who is sociable, amiable, and pleasant to be around. A convivial person is often relaxed and enjoys socializing, making "friendly" an appropriate synonym in this context. (d) Confused: "Confused" means being uncertain or unclear about something. It does not convey the sense of being relaxed and sociable, so it is not the correct synonym for "convivial" in this context.
