Question:

Find the synonym of the word: Maelstrom

Options:

Disorder

Calm

Serene

Balanced

Correct Answer:

Disorder

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Disorder

 

  • Disorder

    • Synonym: "Maelstrom" refers to a situation of chaos, confusion, or turmoil. "Disorder" closely matches this meaning, as it represents a lack of organization or structure, akin to chaos.
  • Calm

    • Opposite: "Calm" signifies peace, tranquility, or a lack of disturbance. This is the antonym of "maelstrom," which describes a turbulent or chaotic situation.
  • Serene

    • Opposite: "Serene" refers to being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Like "calm," it is the opposite of "maelstrom."
  • Balanced

    • Unrelated: "Balanced" indicates stability, harmony, or equilibrium. It is neither a synonym nor a direct opposite of "maelstrom," but it contrasts with the chaos that "maelstrom" represents.
