Correct Answer: Terrible


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Dreadful refers to things that are extremely bad, unpleasant, or shocking. Terrible is the most suitable synonym for dreadful. Both terms convey a sense of extreme fear, horror, or something causing great distress.

The meanings of the other options are:

  • Feeble: This term means weak or lacking strength, which is not synonymous with dreadful.
  • Auspicious: This term refers to something favourable or promising, which is the opposite of dreadful.
  • Propitious: Similar to auspicious, propitious also implies favourable conditions and is not a synonym for dreadful.

Therefore, the correct answer is t errible.
