Question:

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

Looking for her father, Minu finally reached the area where animals are slaughtered for the market .

Options:

Archive

Arsenal

Abattoir

Apiary

Correct Answer:

Abattoir

Explanation:
 

The one-word substitute for the underlined group of words "area where animals are slaughtered for the market" is abattoir.

  • Archive is a place where historical documents are kept.
  • Arsenal is a place where weapons are stored.
  • Apiary is a place where bees are kept.
  • Abattoir is a place where animals are slaughtered for food.

Abattoir is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to a place where animals are killed for food. The other words do not have the same connotation of slaughtering animals.
