Question:

Select the word which means the same as the groups of words given.

The school or college in which one has been educated

Options:

Alma mater

Alumni

Graduate

Mentor

Correct Answer:

Alma mater

Explanation:

The word that means the same as the group of words "the school or college in which one has been educated" is alma mater.

  • Alma mater is a Latin phrase meaning "nourishing mother." It is often used to refer to a school or college that a person has attended or graduated from.
  • Alumni is the plural form of alumnus, which means a former student of a school or college.
  • Graduate means to complete a course of study and receive a diploma or degree.
  • Mentor is a trusted advisor or guide.

The word alma mater is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a school or college that a person has had a personal connection with. The other words do not have the same connotation of nostalgia or affection.
