76. Which word from the passage is the most appropriate synonym of the word “unbelievable”?

 

Comprehension:

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

When I was very little, I caught the travel bug. It started after my grandparents first brought me to their home in France and I have now been to twenty-nine different countries. Each has given me a unique learning experience.

At five, I marvelled at the Eiffel Tower in the City of Lights. When I was eight, I stood in the heart of Piazza San Marco feeding hordes of pigeons, then glided down Venetian waterways on sleek gondolas. At thirteen, I saw the ancient, megalithic structure of Stonehenge and walked along the Great Wall of China, amazed that the thousand-year-old stones were still in place.

It was through exploring cultures around the world that I first became interested in language.

It began with French, which taught me the importance of pronunciation. I remember once asking a store owner in Paris where Rue des Pyramides was. But when I pronounced it PYR–a-mids instead of peer–a-mids, with more accent on the A, she looked at me bewildered.

In the eighth grade, I became fascinated with Spanish and aware of its similarities with English through cognates. Basílica in Spanish, for example, is basilica in English, which looks different but sounds nearly the same. This was incredible to me as it made speech and comprehension more accessible and I found that learning the conjugations rescued me when I forgot how to say something in Spanish.

Then, in high school, I developed an enthusiasm for Chinese. As I studied Chinese at my school, I wondered how if just one stroke was missing from a character, the meaning is lost. I loved how drawing characters was similar to painting their meaning. Huǒ meaning fire and Shān meaning mountain can be joined together to create Volcano. It was a lot like math, the only subject I was never good at.

Now, I can read and write over 1,000 characters and I can feel the beauty and rhythm as I form them.

Correct Answer: (b) Incredible
Solution:दिया गया शब्द ‘Unbelievable’ (अविश्वसनीय) का Synonym ‘Incredible’ (अविश्वसनीय) है। शेष विकल्प असंगत हैं।

Enthusiasm – उत्साह, जोश
Bewildered – हक्का-बक्का
