Audacity

Options:

Courage

Authority

Foolishness

Arrogance

Correct Answer:

Courage

Explanation:

From the options given, the correct synonym for the word "Audacity" is:

Option 1: Courage

Explanation: "Audacity" refers to boldness or daring, often in a positive sense. "Courage" is a synonym that also involves the quality of being brave or fearless. The other options do not have the same meaning:

  • Option 2: Authority refers to power or control, not synonymous with audacity.
  • Option 3: Foolishness means lacking good sense or judgment, which is not synonymous with audacity.
  • Option 4: Arrogance means overbearing pride or superiority. It suggests an inflated sense of self-importance, which can be a part of audacity, but not always.
