Question : Select the most appropriate synonym to substitute the bracketed word in the given sentence.
It broke Eleanora's heart to see her daughter become that (wraith) of her former self.
Option 1: Spirit
Option 2: Wail
Option 3: Being
Option 4: Yore
Correct Answer: Spirit
Solution : The correct answer will be the first option.
Wraith refers to a ghostly or insubstantial form, and spirit is a suitable synonym in this context. Both words convey the idea of a diminished or fading presence, aligning with the sense of the daughter becoming a mere shadow or spirit of her former self.
The meanings of the other options are:
Wail:
It means a prolonged, mournful cry of pain, grief, or anger.
Being:
It means a living organism or the state of having existence.
Yore:
It means a time long ago; former days or years.
Therefore, the correct answer will be spirit.
