Choose the option which means 'a large crowd of people.'

Options:

hoard

horde

tourist

hoarse

Correct Answer:

horde

Explanation:

The option which means 'a large crowd of people' is: Option 2: horde

  • Hoard refers to a hidden or secret accumulation of something, typically money or valuables. It doesn't directly imply a crowd of people.
  • Horde means a large group of people, often one that is unorganized or disorderly. It accurately captures the meaning of a large gathering of people.
  • Tourist refers to a person who travels to a place for pleasure or education. While tourists can contribute to crowds, the term doesn't specifically mean a large crowd.
  • Hoarse means having a rough or raspy voice due to illness or overuse. It is not related to the concept of a large crowd.
