Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word.
In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Member States express their commitment to protect the planet from degradation and take urgent action on climate change.
Option 1: pollution
Option 2: hazard
Option 3: degeneration
Option 4: approval
Correct Answer: degeneration
Solution : The correct answer is the third option.
The word "degeneration" is a suitable synonym for "degradation" in this context because both terms convey a similar idea of a decline or deterioration in the quality or condition of something. In the sentence, "degradation" is used to describe the negative impact on the planet's condition, and "degeneration" aligns with this sense of a decline or worsening of the planet's state.
The other options provided, such as "approval", "pollution", and "hazard", do not have the same meaning as "degradation".
