Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Even though Akshay does not study hard, he always comes first in his class.

• A. scores
• B. stands
• C. arrives
• D. completes

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option B: 'Comes' means 'occupy a specific position in place'.

'Stands' means 'put in a particular place'. The position or place here is the first rank in class.

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

Option A: 'Scores' means 'succeed in an activity or achieve something'.

Option C: 'Arrives' means 'happen or occur'.

Option D: 'Completes' means 'finish making or doing'.

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

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
