Q. Choose one word which can meaningfully replace the underlined words in both the sentences without changing the meaning of original sentences.
I. The robber finally decided to end his silence and reveal the truth to the police.
II. The robber finally decided to end his silence and reveal the truth to the police.- Published on 15 Apr 16a. terminate
b. finish
c. disclose
d. break
ANSWER: break
The robber finally decided to end his silence and reveal the truth to the police.
The robber finally decided to end his silence and reveal the truth to the police.
Here both 'end' and 'reveal' are verbs (Verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence)
Options (a), (b) 'terminate' and 'finish' mean end but they do not mean 'reveal'. Hence, these words cannot be used to replace the words in both the sentences.
Option (c) 'disclose' means 'reveal' but it does not mean 'end.
Only option (d) 'break' means 'end' in sentence (I) and 'reveal' in sentence (II). Thus, 'break' is the word which meaningfully replaces the words in both the sentences.
