Vocabulary: synonyms MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

'Connotes' means suggests, indicates, or carries an additional meaning beyond the literal one. 'Implies' is therefore the nearest synonym. 'Liberates' means frees someone or something, which belongs to a completely different idea. 'Unfollows' means stops following, usually on a social platform, and has no semantic link here. 'Except' means excluding or leaving out; it is a preposition or conjunction, not a synonym for suggesting a meaning.

Precise means exact, definite, or clearly stated, so specific is the closest meaning among the given choices. Estimate means an approximate judgement or calculation, which is almost the opposite of being exact. Vague means unclear or not sharply defined, so it directly conflicts with precise. Abstract means general, theoretical, or not concrete; it may be broad rather than exact. Since the question asks for the most appropriate meaning of the word, specific best captures the sense of something clearly and accurately identified.

In the passage context, 'stifled' means held back, checked, or prevented from being expressed freely, so 'suppressed' gives the closest synonym. 'Inspired' means encouraged or filled with an idea or feeling, which is almost the opposite of being held down. 'Enhanced' means improved or increased in quality, while 'amplified' means made louder or stronger. Both suggest growth or intensification, not restriction. Therefore the word that preserves the sense of being restrained or smothered is 'suppressed'.

In the sentence, "infringed on her personal life" means that the question crossed a boundary and intruded into a private area. "Invaded" carries that sense of entering or interfering where one has no right, so it is the closest synonym. "Ingrained" means deeply fixed in habit or belief. "Ingested" means taken into the body, usually as food or drink. "Infused" means filled or introduced into something. None of these expresses intrusion into privacy as accurately as "invaded" does.

"Effuse" means to pour out, spread out, or give off, especially a liquid, light, smell, or feeling. "Emanate" matches that sense because it means to issue or flow out from a source. "Absorb" means to take in, which is the reverse movement. "Transfer" means to move something from one place or person to another, not necessarily to flow out naturally. "Augment" means to increase or make larger, so it is unrelated to the basic meaning of "effuse".
