One Word

Question:

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

A group of guns or missile launchers operated together at one place

Options:

Psaltery

Skittery

Cemetery

Battery

Correct Answer:

Battery

Explanation:
 

The one-word substitute for a group of guns or missile launchers operated together at one place is battery.

  • Psaltery is a musical instrument with strings that are plucked.
  • Skittery means moving in a nervous or restless way.
  • Cemetery is a place where dead people are buried.
  • Battery is a group of guns or missile launchers operated together at one place.

Battery is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to a group of weapons that are operated together. The other words do not have the same connotation of firepower.
