Question:

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Rejuvenate

Options:

Retell

Refresh

Reset

Retake

Correct Answer:

Refresh

Explanation:

The most appropriate synonym of the given word Rejuvenate is Refresh.

  • Rejuvenate means to make young or vigorous again.
  • Refresh means to make fresh or invigorated again.

The two words are similar in that they both suggest the idea of making something new or fresh. However, the word rejuvenate has a more specific meaning that is focused on making something young or vigorous again. The word refresh has a more general meaning that is focused on making something fresh or invigorated again.

In the sentence "A good night's sleep will rejuvenate me," the speaker is not just saying that they will feel refreshed after a good night's sleep, but that they will also feel young or vigorous again. Therefore, the word "refresh" is the most appropriate synonym for the word "rejuvenate" in this context.

The other words on the list are not as appropriate synonyms for rejuvenate. The word retell means to tell something again. The word reset means to set something back to its original state. The word retake means to take something again. These words do not convey the same sense of making something new or fresh as the word refresh.
