Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the word printed in italic bold in the sentence.
His unscrupulous act would only tantamount to ravage and destruction.

• A. cause
• B. result
• C. repetitious
• D. equal

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In this sentence we would be looking for a word which best expresses "Tantamount" from the given options

Tantamount means equivalent in seriousness to; virtually the same as. This makes it synonymous to equal.

If we look into the other options,

Cause means a person or thing that gives rise to an action, phenomenon, or condition

Result means a thing that is caused or produced by something else; a consequence or outcome

Repetitious means another term for repetitive

Option C is correct
