Question and options
Choose the best synonym for the underlined (quoted) word from the given options.
He finally got the Rolls Royce car he had long 'coveted'.
- noticed
- hated
- covered
- desired
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - desired
To covet is to desire eagerly, often something that belongs to another, so "desired" is the synonym. "Covered" merely looks like "coveted", and "noticed" and "hated" do not carry the sense of longing.
