Question

Choose the word that is most nearly the SAME in meaning as the word given in capital letters.

MANAGED

• A. Performed
• B. Maneuvered
• C. Trained
• D. Organised

Hint:

Think about what a manager does: arranges and coordinates, not just carries out a single action.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

MANAGED here means to have handled, run, or arranged something, usually a task, an event, or an organization, in a controlled way. The question wants the closest match to this sense.

1. Performed: this means to have carried out an action or a task. It is close, since managing a task also involves carrying it out, but performed does not carry the extra sense of arranging or controlling how it is done.
2. Maneuvered: this means to have moved or guided something with skill, often with an idea of a clever or careful tactic. It carries a narrower, more tactical sense than the everyday sense of managed.
3. Trained: this means to have taught or coached someone toward a skill. It is about instruction, not about running or arranging a task or event, so it does not match.
4. Organised: this means to have arranged and coordinated the parts of a task or event so that it runs properly. This matches managed closely, since to manage a project or a business is to organize its parts and keep it running.

Managed carries the sense of taking charge of something and arranging it properly so it functions well, which is the same idea captured by Organised. Performed only covers carrying out an action, without the added sense of arranging or being in charge.

Let's summarize:

• Managed means to have run, handled, or arranged something in a controlled way.
• Trained and Maneuvered describe narrower or different activities, teaching and tactical movement.
• Organised captures the full sense of arranging and running something, matching managed.

The correct answer is option (4) Organised.
