Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: EULOGY

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Tribute.

Meaning of the Options:

  • Eulogy (Noun): A speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died.

  • Tribute (Synonym): An act, statement, or gift that is intended to show gratitude, respect, or admiration.

  • Criticism (Antonym): The expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

  • Insult (Antonym): A disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark or action.

  • Condemnation (Antonym): The expression of very strong disapproval; censure.

Correction/Reasoning: While "Criticism," "Insult," and "Condemnation" all represent negative evaluations or expressions of disapproval, Tribute aligns perfectly with the positive, honorific nature of a eulogy. Both terms function to celebrate the merits and legacy of an individual.

Final Sentence: The most appropriate synonym for the word "Eulogy" is Tribute.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
