Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Vendetta

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Disagreement. 

The most appropriate synonym for "vendetta" from the given options is "disagreement."  

A vendetta describes an intense and protracted disagreement or quarrel between people or organisations, frequently marked by a desire for retaliation or revenge. 

Similarly, a disagreement involves a lack of consensus or harmony between parties, which can escalate into a contentious situation.

While the other options such as "dilemma," "passion," and "vacillation" may denote different concepts or emotions, they do not directly convey the meaning of a vendetta as closely as "disagreement" does.
