Question

Choose the word(s) which has the same meaning and can be used in the same context as the italicized word/phrase in both the given sentences.
I. The aviator was responsible for the fatal crash.
II. The ship was bound to sink but the captain continually attempted to steer the vessel out of danger.

• A. driver
• B. guide
• C. pilot
• D. navigate

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The word that has same meaning as the italicized word in both the sentences is Option C 'pilot'. Pilot is the person who flies the aircraft. Pilot also means to direct the ship into a port. Sentence I means that the pilot was responsible for the crash. The context of sentence II is that the captain continued to pilot the vessel out of danger. Option A 'driver' is the person who drives. Option B 'guide' means to show the way. Option D 'navigate' means to find a way from one place to another. Thus, options A, B and D are incorrect options and correct answer is Option C 'pilot'.
