Question:

Select the word which means the same as the group of words given.

A solution for all difficulties or diseases

Options:

treatment

remedy

panacea

medication

Correct Answer:

panacea

Explanation:
 

The word that means the same as the group of words "a solution for all difficulties or diseases" is panacea.

The other words in the options, treatment, remedy, and medication, do not mean the same thing. A treatment is a course of action taken to cure or relieve a disease or condition. A remedy is a medicine or other treatment that cures or relieves a disease or condition. Medication is a drug or other substance used to treat or prevent disease.

A panacea, on the other hand, is a cure-all or remedy for all ills. It is a hypothetical substance or treatment that would cure all diseases or solve all problems. While there is no such thing as a true panacea, the word is often used figuratively to refer to something that is very effective or solves a wide range of problems.
