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

Having something more than required

Options:

Surplus

Surrogate

Surroundings

Surcharge

Correct Answer:

Surplus

Explanation:
 

The word which means the same as the group of words "having something more than required" is surplus.

  • Surplus means an excess of something; a quantity or amount that is more than is needed.
  • Surrogate means a substitute.
  • Surroundings means the things or people that are around something or someone.
  • Surcharge means an additional amount charged for a service or product.

The word surplus is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to an excess of something. The other words do not have the same connotation of excess.
