Question:

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

The King ordered to build a storage room in a public building for outdoor clothes and luggage.

Options:

a cloakroom

an almirah

a wardrobe

a closet

Correct Answer:

a cloakroom

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence is a cloakroom.

  • Cloakroom is a room in a public building where people can leave their coats and other belongings.
  • Almirah is a large cupboard or cabinet, typically with doors and shelves.
  • Wardrobe is a large cupboard or cabinet for storing clothes.
  • Closet is a small cupboard or cabinet, typically for storing clothes.

Cloakroom is the most appropriate option because it specifically refers to a room where people can leave their outdoor clothes and luggage. The other words do not have the same connotation of a place to store outdoor clothing.
