Question and options
Choose the SYNONYM for the following word.
APPAL
APPAL
- Move
- Clear
- Fruit
- Horrify
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Horrify
To appal is to fill someone with horror, dismay or shock, so to horrify is its synonym. To move is to stir feeling of any kind, usually sympathy or admiration rather than horror, and to clear has no such sense; "fruit" is a noun and not a synonym of a verb at all.
