Question

Choose the word nearest in meaning to the given word: COUP

• A. Degrade
• B. Encroach
• C. Reinstate
• D. Compensate

Hint:

When looking for synonyms, consider words that convey a similar concept in a specific context. "Encroach" can often describe the gradual take-over, similar to a "Coup."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The term "COUP" refers to a sudden, often violent, take-over, usually in politics. The word "Encroach" best fits as it means to intrude or gradually take over, which aligns with the meaning of a "Coup." "Reinstate" means to bring something back to its original state, and "Compensate" refers to making up for a loss, which are not the same as "Coup."
