Question
In each of the following sentences, choose the word
similar in meaning to the bold word to fill in the blank. The exquisite craftsmanship of the vase was matched only by the ___________elegance of the room's décor.Solution
Explanation: Exquisite means something extremely beautiful, delicate, and of high quality. In this context, it describes the fine, intricate craftsmanship of the vase. Refined means elegant, sophisticated, or polished, which aligns well with the idea of "exquisite" elegance. Both words suggest something of high quality and taste. Ferocious means fierce or violent, which is the opposite of elegance and does not match the context of beauty or sophistication. Rigorous refers to something strict or thorough, which does not fit the idea of elegance in décor. Gross means something unpleasant, large, or crude, which is the opposite of "exquisite" and "refined" elegance. Therefore, "refined" is the correct synonym to describe the level of elegance in the room's décor.Â
