Choose the synonym of the word Coalition:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Alliance

• A coalition is a union of different parties or groups that join together for a common purpose, especially to form a government.
  Example: Three parties formed a coalition government after the election.
• An alliance is a union of people, groups or countries formed for mutual benefit. It names the same kind of union, so it is the synonym of coalition. (Coalition comes from the Latin coalescere, to grow together.)
  Example: The two countries signed an alliance for mutual defence.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 2: Meeting — Incorrect. A meeting is a gathering of people to discuss something. It is an event, whereas a coalition is a union of groups.
Example: The meeting was held in the main hall.

Option 3: Coercion — Incorrect. Coercion means forcing someone to act through threats or pressure. It describes force, not a joining of groups.
Example: The witness confessed under coercion.

Option 4: Tenement — Incorrect. A tenement is a large building divided into flats, often in a poor area. It is a type of building, unrelated to a union of parties.
Example: The family lived in a crowded tenement near the docks.
