Answer 1

Question:

Ram had bad luck since all the escape routes were blocked by his enemy.

Find the words in the sentence similar to :

a. sealed off

b. fortune​

Answer:

a. blocked

b. luck

Explanation:

• Words having the similar or very close meaning to each other are called synonyms.
• The usual test for synonymy is substitution. If one word form can be replaced by another word in a given sentence without changing its meaning then the words are considered synonymous.
• It is important to know that words can be considered synonymous in only one particular sense. As for example in English the words 'long' and 'extended' can be used as synonyms in the context of 'time' such as 'long time' or 'extended time', but in case of 'family' long cannot be used to replace 'extended' in the phrase 'extended family'.
• The synonyms of blocked are sealed off , jammed, clogged etc.
• The synonyms of fortune are luck, fate, fluke etc.
