One Word

Question:

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

Something that will cure all illnesses

Options:

Wine

Vaccination

Panacea

Tonic

Correct Answer:

Panacea

Explanation:
 

The one-word substitute for something that will cure all illnesses is panacea.

  • Wine is a fermented alcoholic drink made from grapes.
  • Vaccination is the introduction of a weakened or inactive form of a virus or bacteria into the body to help prevent disease.
  • Tonic is a medicine or drink that is supposed to have health-giving properties.
  • Panacea is a cure-all, a remedy that supposedly cures all diseases.

Panacea is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to something that will cure all illnesses. The other words do not have the same connotation of a cure-all.
