Vanquish
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Conquer.
The word “vanquish” means to defeat someone completely in a battle, fight, or competition. It is often used when talking about overcoming an enemy or a challenge.
Let’s look at the options:
Quantify – means to express something as a number or amount. Not related to defeating.
Describe – means to give details about something. Unrelated meaning.
Verify – means to check or prove something is true. Different context.
Conquer – means to take control of or defeat something or someone, especially by force. This is the closest and most appropriate synonym of vanquish.
“Vanquish” is best replaced with “Conquer” as both suggest defeating or overcoming something completely.
