Synonyms : Raise

Q.  Pick the word/phrase closest in meaning to the given word:

Raise
- Published on 31 Mar 16

a. Contraction
b. Expansive
c. Increase
d. Being expanded

ANSWER: Increase
 
Contracting means reducing. While being expanded and expansive both mean to increase, the problem is that the world raise is a noun in active voice. (d) is in passive voice- being expanded as opposed to expanded. Thus the correct choice is increase because it is a noun which is in active voice.

Sample Sentences:

Increase: He tried to increase the length of the cut piece so that the shirt would fit the customer.
