Question:

Choose the most appropriate meaning of the word "TRUDGE":

Options:

trample

walk laboriously

band together

travel

Correct Answer:

walk laboriously

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - walk laboriously

  • Trudge means to walk slowly and with heavy, laborious steps, often due to fatigue or difficult conditions.
  • It does not mean "trample" (which means to step on or crush), "band together" (which means to unite), or simply "travel" (a general term for moving from one place to another).
  • Therefore, "walk laboriously" is the most appropriate meaning.
