Two lengths of rope, bamboo or wood with rungs used for climbing up and down walls, sides of ships etc.

Options:

bridge

steps

staircase

ladder

Correct Answer:

ladder

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate word which means the same as the group of words "two lengths of rope, bamboo or wood with rungs used for climbing up and down walls, sides of ships etc." is ladder.

  • Bridge is a structure that spans a gap and allows people or vehicles to cross from one side to the other.
  • Steps are individual pieces of a staircase that are used for climbing up or down.
  • Staircase is a series of steps that are used for climbing up or down.
  • Ladder is a structure consisting of two long pieces of wood or metal with steps fixed between them, used for climbing up or down walls, buildings, etc.

The word ladder is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a structure that is used for climbing up and down. The other words do not have the same connotation of being a structure that is used for climbing up and down.
