Example Question #11 : Synonyms: Verbs About Emotional Changes
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
MOURN
Possible Answers:
Pity
Whine
Bellow
Lament
Embalm
Correct answer:
Lament
Explanation:
To "mourn" something means to express sadness regarding that thing. Now, do not be tempted by options like "bellow" (meaning, to shout loudly) or "whine." Although the mourning person may make various kinds of sounds, the essence of mourning is being sad. To "lament" something, however, is to express one's sadness just like someone mourning. This is a good synonym, given the options.
