Question:

From the given options, choose the word that best expresses the meaning of the given word: Grisly

Options:

gloomy

greasy

disgusting

boorish

Correct Answer:

disgusting

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → disgusting

  • Grisly (Adjective) means causing horror or disgust; sickening; gruesome.

  • Disgusting (Adjective) means arousing revulsion or strong disapproval; highly unpleasant.

While gloomy (dark, depressing) and greasy (oily) are unrelated, and boorish (rude, crude) refers to manners, disgusting directly aligns with the sense of strong revulsion or horror conveyed by grisly.
