From the given options choose the one which is the closest in meaning to the word given below :

Charge

Responsibility

The correct answer is option 2: Responsibility

The word "charge" has multiple meanings, but the closest meaning in a general context is "responsibility."

• Charge as Responsibility:
  • Example: She is in charge of the project.
  • Here, "charge" means having control or responsibility over something.

Why Not the Other Options?

• Option 1 (Payment) → "Charge" can mean a fee (e.g., service charge), but this is a specific financial meaning, not the broadest or closest meaning.
• Option 3 (Care) → "Charge" can imply being in care of something (e.g., He was given charge of the orphanage), but "responsibility" better captures the meaning.
• Option 4 (Receipt) → Completely unrelated to the meaning of "charge."
