Question:

Select the most appropriate option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

A cup or other decorative object awarded as a prize for a victory or success

Options:

present(n)

gift

crown

trophy

Correct Answer:

trophy

Explanation:
 
 

The most appropriate option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words is trophy.

  • Present(n) means a gift, especially one given on a special occasion.
  • Gift means a thing given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance.
  • Crown is a circular ornamental headdress worn by a monarch as a symbol of authority, usually made of or decorated with precious metals and jewels.

The word trophy is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a cup or other decorative object awarded as a prize for a victory or success. The other words do not have the same connotation of being awarded for achievement.
