Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The actor with many graces leaves the stage and becomes only a memory in a world of happy memories.

• A. delicacies
• B. tacts
• C. charms
• D. gestures

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Option C: 'Graces' means 'smoothness and elegance of movement'.

'Charms' means 'attracting or alluring characteristic or feature'.

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

Option A: 'Delicacies' means 'fineness or intricacy of texture or structure'.

Option B: 'Tacts' means 'ability to say or do the right thing without making anyone unhappy or angry'.

Option D: 'Gestures' means 'actions performed to convey feelings or intention'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
