Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
Mothers have great animosity for their children

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. affection.

  • The word "animosity" usually means strong hostility or dislike, which doesn't fit well in the context of a mother's feelings towards her children. A more appropriate word would be "affection".
  • The correct sentence should be "Mothers have great affection for their children."
  • The other option means:

    • Absurdity: This refers to something ridiculous or completely unreasonable.

    • Affectation: This refers to behavior, speech, or writing that is artificial and designed to impress others.

    • Abasement: This refers to the act of belittling or degrading someone.
