Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The story began in an eerie situation.

• A. dangerous
• B. thrilling
• C. wonderful
• D. strange
• E. dismaying

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is D strange
Option D: 'Eerie' means 'strange and frightening'.

'Strange' means 'not known or familiar'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Dangerous' means 'able or likely to cause harm or injury'.

Option B: 'Thrilling' means 'causing excitement and pleasure'.

Option C: 'Wonderful' means 'inspiring delight, pleasure or admiration'.

Option E: 'Dismaying' means 'causing concern and distress'.

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

So, options A, B, C and E are wrong.
