Question
In the question below, choose the options NEAREST IN MEANING to the underlined.The meeting was cancelled because of the convocation.
Options
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
This question is asking you to choose the option that is closest in meaning to the underlined word "cancelled" in the sentence "The meeting was cancelled because of the convocation."
In this context, "cancelled" means that the meeting was no longer going to happen. So you need to choose the option that means the same thing as "cancelled."
Option A, "brought up," does not have the same meaning as cancelled. Option C, "broken off," and option D, "phased out," are also not synonyms for cancelled.
Option B, "called off," is the correct answer. "Called off" means the same thing as "cancelled" in this context, that the meeting was no longer going to happen.
It's important to understand the meaning of words and phrases in context to be able to choose the correct option in questions like this.
