In each of the following question, four alternative meanings of a word are given. You have to select the nearest correct meaning of the given word and fill the appropriate.
Enmeshed
- A
Sojourn
- B
Entangled
- C
Gallows
- D
Cascade
The word 'enmeshed' is best represented by Option B: Entangled. 'Enmeshed' implies being caught or involved in a situation that is complex and difficult to escape, similar to being 'entangled.' The other options do not convey the idea of complexity or difficulty in escaping. 'Sojourn' refers to a temporary stay, 'gallows' is a structure for execution, and 'cascade' suggests a sequence of events, none of which capture the essence of 'enmeshed.'
Sojourn means a temporary stay, typically for leisure or travel, and does not relate to being trapped or involved in a situation.
Entangled means being caught or twisted together, often in a complicated situation. It closely aligns with 'enmeshed' when involving complexities from which escape is difficult.
Gallows refers to a structure used for execution by hanging, which is not related to the meaning of 'enmeshed.'
Cascade refers to a series of events or processes happening in sequence, not directly related to being trapped or involved in a complex situation.
