Select the option that is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase:-
My mother's dream garden came to life and blossomed with the onset of rains.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → was invigorated
- To come to life is to become lively, active or full of energy after being dull or still. The garden was dry before the rains; with the rains it came to life and blossomed.
Example: The sleepy town came to life during the festival. - To be invigorated is to be given new strength and energy. The rains filled the garden with fresh life, so "was invigorated" is closest in meaning to "came to life".
Example: We felt invigorated after a swim in the cool lake.
