Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
SHOVE
Option 1: shout
Option 2: poke
Option 3: pull
Option 4: halt
Correct Answer: poke
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation:
Shove
and
poke
both involve a degree of physical pushing, but a shove tends to be more forceful and aggressive, while a poke is a gentler, more directed push. It's a matter of intensity, i.e., a shove is a stronger, more vigorous push, while a poke is a lighter, more targeted one.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Shout means to speak loudly or yell.
- Pull means to exert force in the opposite direction of a push, drawing something towards oneself.
- Halt means to stop or come to a sudden pause.
Therefore, the correct answer is poke.
