Choose the correct synonym of the underlined word in the following sentence from the options given:

Her assignments have taken her to many exotic locations around the world.

(A) fascinating
(B) ancient
(C) cosmopolitan
(D) distant

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) Only

The correct answer is Option (4) - (A) Only

The word "exotic" in the sentence refers to locations that are unusual, fascinating, or striking because they are different from what is typical or ordinary. Therefore, the synonym "fascinating" best captures the meaning of "exotic."

Options

1. (A) fascinating

   • Correct: "Fascinating" aligns with the meaning of "exotic," as it emphasizes the uniqueness and allure of these locations.

2. (B) ancient

   • Incorrect: "Ancient" refers to something very old, which does not necessarily relate to the meaning of "exotic."

3. (C) cosmopolitan

   • Incorrect: "Cosmopolitan" describes a place or person as worldly or influenced by many cultures, which is not synonymous with "exotic."

4. (D) distant

   • Incorrect: While "exotic" locations may often be far away, "distant" focuses on physical remoteness rather than the uniqueness or allure implied by "exotic."
