Vocabulary: synonyms MCQ — 3 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

"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".

Explanation

'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.

Explanation

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'.
