Question

Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The isolated and dilapidated palace has become a rendezvous for the unsocial elements.

• A. public place
• B. meeting place
• C. resort
• D. hiding place

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option D: 'Rendezvous' means 'a meeting place'.

Hence, 'meeting place' gives the meaning of 'rendezvous' and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Resort' is 'a place that is frequented for holidays or recreation, or for a particular purpose'.

Option B: 'Hiding place' is 'a place for concealing someone or something'.

Option C: 'Public place' is 'a place that is generally open and accessible to people'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'rendezvous'.

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
