Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Plasticity
Explanation: Plasticity means the quality of being flexible, moldable, or capable of changing according to circumstances. In vocabulary usage, it is best understood as adaptability, because it refers to the ability to adjust or be shaped easily. The other options like rigidity, inflexibility, and stiffness express the opposite idea, so they cannot be the correct meaning.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Porous
Explanation: Porous means full of tiny holes or openings through which air, water, or other substances can pass. Therefore, permeable is the best meaning because it also describes something that allows liquids or gases to move through it. The options impermeable, solid, and dense do not express this sense, as they suggest something compact or not allowing passage.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Savor
Explanation: Savor means to enjoy, appreciate, or relish something fully, especially with pleasure. Since the question asks for the opposite, detest is the correct answer because it means to dislike something strongly. The other options such as relish, enjoy, and appreciate are all similar in meaning to savor, so they are not opposites.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Secrete
Explanation: Secrete means to produce and release a substance, especially from a gland, cell, or organ. Since the question asks for the opposite, retain is the correct answer because it means to keep back, hold, or not release. The other options like exude, discharge, and emit are close in meaning to secrete, so they cannot be the antonym.
Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
Having tiny holes or spaces through which air or liquid can pass.
Explanation: The phrase having tiny holes or spaces through which air or liquid can pass is correctly expressed by the word porous. This word is specifically used for substances or materials that are not fully compact and allow passage through small openings. The other words like plasticity, savor, and secrete do not carry this meaning, so porous is correct.
Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
Produce and release a substance, especially from a cell or gland.
Explanation: The sentence produce and release a substance, especially from a cell or gland is correctly substituted by the word secrete. This verb is commonly used in biology and medicine for glands or cells releasing substances like hormones, enzymes, or fluids. The other options do not match this technical meaning, so secrete is the correct answer.
Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
A sharp broken piece of glass, pottery, metal, or any hard material.
Explanation: A shard is a sharp broken piece of glass, pottery, metal, or any other hard material. This makes it the correct one-word substitute for the given sentence. The other options like plasticity, savor, and secrete are unrelated in meaning, so shard is clearly the correct answer.
