• A. Collective
• B. Adjacent
• C. Aligned
• D. Distant

Hint:

"Juxtapose" involves placing things side by side for comparison, so its synonym would be a word that indicates proximity, like "adjacent."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the word "juxtapose."
"Juxtapose" means to place things side by side, usually for comparison or contrast. The synonym should suggest something being next to or placed together.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.

- Collective refers to a group of things, but it doesn’t imply placement side by side.
- Adjacent means next to or adjoining something else, which is the closest in meaning to juxtapose.
- Aligned means arranged in a straight line, but it is not the same as juxtaposing items side by side.
- Distant refers to things that are far apart, which is the opposite of juxtaposing.
Step 3: Conclusion. "Adjacent" is the most similar in meaning to "juxtapose" because both involve things being placed next to each other. Thus, the correct answer is 2. Adjacent.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is 2. Adjacent.}} \]
