Question:

Choose the most appropriate Synonym of the word 'wretched' from the options given:

Options:

snatched

miserable

cheerful

pleasant

Correct Answer:

miserable

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - miserable

 

  • Wretched means being in a very unhappy, unfortunate, or poor condition. "Miserable" is the closest synonym as it conveys extreme unhappiness or distress.

  • Snatched means to grab something quickly or suddenly. It is unrelated to the meaning of "wretched."

  • Cheerful

    • Opposite: "Cheerful" means happy, joyful, or in high spirits. This is the antonym of "wretched."

    Pleasant

    • Opposite: "Pleasant" refers to something that is enjoyable, pleasing, or agreeable. This contrasts sharply with the negative connotation of "wretched."
