Question:

Choose the word closest in meaning to the word - salubrious from the options given below.

Options:

irritable

opinionated

pleasant

worthy

Correct Answer:

pleasant

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → pleasant

  • Salubrious (Adjective) means health-giving; healthy, often used to describe a climate, environment, or location.

  • Pleasant (Adjective) means agreeable, enjoyable, or attractive. Since a salubrious place is agreeable and beneficial to health, pleasant is the best fit among the options, though healthy would be a more direct synonym.

  • Irritable (easily annoyed), opinionated (holding strong opinions), and worthy (deserving respect) are unrelated to the meaning of salubrious.
