SSC GD Const (English) - 29 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q3

Choose the word that means the same as the given word.
Fascinate

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Entice

"Fascinate" means to attract or hold the attention of someone intensely.

"Entice" means to attract or tempt someone by offering something appealing. It carries a similar meaning to drawing someone’s interest or attention.

The other option means: 

"Impel" means to drive or urge someone to take action. 

"Insure" means to protect against loss or damage. 

"Inspire" means to stimulate or motivate, which is related but not synonymous with the sense of capturing someone's intense interest as "fascinate" does.
