Select the most appropriate one word substitution for the given group of words.

A place where clothes are kept

Options:

Coffin

Hangar

Shaft

Wardrobe

Correct Answer:

Wardrobe

Explanation:

The most appropriate one word substitution for the given group of words "a place where clothes are kept" is wardrobe.

  • Coffin is a boxlike container in which a dead body is buried or cremated.
  • Hangar is a large enclosed structure for housing aircraft.
  • Shaft is a long, narrow opening or passage.
  • Wardrobe is a large cupboard or closet for storing clothes.

The word wardrobe is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a piece of furniture that is used to store clothes. The other words do not have the same connotation of clothing storage.
