Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: TRUNCATED

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Shortened.

 

Context: The word truncated refers to something that has been made shorter or cut off at the end, often resulting in a simplified or incomplete version.

Grammatical concept: A synonym is a word that has the same or a nearly identical meaning as another word.

Analysis of the given options:

  • Lengthened: This is an antonym. It means to make something longer.

  • Extended: This is an antonym. It means to increase the length or duration of something.

  • Shortened: This is the correct synonym. To truncate a piece of text, a cone, or a scheduled event is to shorten it by cutting off a part.

  • Complicated: This refers to the complexity of a situation, which is unrelated to the physical or temporal length implied by "truncated."

Correct word: Shortened

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
