Choose the word which is closest in meaning to the word mentioned below-
“Vast”

• A. Tiny
• B. Huge
• C. Narrow
• D. Short

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Synonyms are words that have the same or very similar meanings. Identifying the correct synonym requires understanding the "scale" or "intensity" of the word.

• Vast: Derived from the Latin vastus, meaning empty, waste, or immense.

• Usage: It is used to describe immense space, quantity, or degree.

Step 1: Evaluating the scale of the word.
"Vast" implies something that is

limitless or extremely large. It is used for oceans, deserts, or the universe.

Step 2: Comparing with the options.
Tiny (small), Narrow (thin), and Short (low height) are all

opposite in scale. The word

"Huge" corresponds directly to the immense size of "Vast". Other common synonyms for Vast include Immense, Massive, Mammoth, and Gigantic. Since "Huge" shares the same core meaning of great physical size or extent, it is the most appropriate choice.
