Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
BEVERAGE
Drink
Tea
Blanket
Common
Cup
Drink
The word that means most nearly the same thing as BEVERAGE is "drink." In this case, the word "drink" is being used as a noun meaning a liquid that can be swallowed.
"Tea" is not the best answer because it is an example of a beverage. "Drink" is a broader word that is closer in meaning to beverage.
"Cup" is not the best answer because it is an object used to hold a beverage.
"Common" is an adjective that means average. "Average" sounds a little like "beverage," but it is not the same part of speech and has a very different meaning.
A "blanket" is a covering to keep you warm.
