Question:

Choose the word that means the same as the given word.

Domicile

Options:

Wild

Dictator

Home

Evict

Correct Answer:

Home

Explanation:

The word that means the same as the given word Domicile is Home.

  • Domicile means the place where someone lives permanently or habitually.
  • Home means the place where someone lives permanently or habitually.

The two words are similar in that they both refer to the place where someone lives. However, the word domicile has a more formal meaning, while the word home has a more informal meaning.

In the sentence "The family moved to their new domicile," the speaker is not just saying that the family moved to their new house, but that the family moved to their new permanent home. Therefore, the word "home" is the most appropriate synonym for the word "domicile" in this context.

The other words on the list are not as appropriate synonyms for domicile. The word wild means not domesticated or cultivated. The word dictator means a ruler with absolute power. The word evict means to force someone to leave their home. These words do not convey the same sense of being a place where someone lives as the word domicile.
