Select the synonym of Summon.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Summon: This verb means to formally request or command someone to be present or to appear in a specific place (e.g., "to summon a witness").

Call: This is the most direct synonym, as it similarly means to ask or direct someone to come to you or a particular location.

Send: This means to cause something to go to a destination; it focuses on the departure rather than the command to appear.

Disperse: This is an antonym; it means to scatter or spread over a wide area.

Drive: This typically refers to operating a vehicle or forcing someone/something to move in a direction.
