Choose the correct synonym for:

ECSTASY

Options:

despair

calamity

delight

depression

Correct Answer:

delight

Explanation:

The correct synonym for "ECSTASY" is:OPTION 3 "delight"

Ecstasy" refers to an overwhelming feeling of great happiness, joy, or delight. The choice "delight" is the most appropriate synonym because it also conveys a sense of extreme happiness or pleasure. Here's a brief explanation for each option:

  • Despair: The opposite of ecstasy, despair refers to a state of complete hopelessness or misery.

  • Calamity: Calamity refers to a disastrous event, a catastrophe, or a serious misfortune. It is not synonymous with ecstasy.

  • Delight: Delight is the correct synonym. It signifies great pleasure, joy, or happiness, aligning with the positive connotations of ecstasy.

  • Depression: Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity, and it is the opposite of ecstasy. It does not convey the same sense of extreme happiness.
