Which of the following word(s) mean the same as 'exclusion'?

(A) Liberation
(B) Hysterical
(C) Segregation
(D) Impatience
(E) Agitation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(C) only

The correct answer is Option (2) - (C) only

"Exclusion" refers to the act of leaving someone or something out or not allowing them to be included. "Segregation" also refers to the act of separating or excluding individuals or groups from others, particularly based on characteristics like race or status. The other options do not convey a similar meaning.

• (A) Liberation: While liberation can sometimes involve the exclusion of former oppressors or limitations, it primarily focuses on the act of freeing. The link to exclusion is contextual and not the primary meaning.

• (B) Hysterical: It means extremely emotional or out of control. This is clearly unrelated to the meaning of exclusion.

• (C) Segregation: This word directly implies the act of separating or keeping apart, making it the closest synonym to exclusion among the options.

• (D) Impatience: This describes a state of mind and has no connection to the act of excluding.

• (E) Agitation: This refers to a state of unrest or excitement and is not related to exclusion.
