Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question requires us to determine synonyms for the word "shirk." Let's analyze each option:

1. Avoid: The word "shirk" means to avoid or neglect a duty or responsibility. Therefore, "avoid" is a suitable synonym.
2. Escape: "Escape" means to break free from confinement or danger, which does not perfectly align with the notion of shirking responsibilities. While they can be contextually related, in terms of synonyms for "shirk," it is not as direct as "avoid" or "evade."
3. Evade: This word means to escape or avoid, especially by cleverness or trickery, aligning closely with "shirk" in the context of duties. Thus, "evade" is a suitable synonym for "shirk."
4. Oppose: To "oppose" means to resist or act against, which does not match the context of avoiding a duty or responsibility. Hence, "oppose" is not a synonym for "shirk."

Based on the analysis above, the options "Avoid (A)," "Evade (C)," and less directly, "Escape (B)" relate closely to "shirk" as synonyms. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is:

A, B, C only
