Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words. Short form of a word or phrase

  • A.Correlation
  • B.Slang
  • C.Abbreviation
  • D.Expansion

Answer: C

The word is Abbreviation.

An abbreviation is a short form of a word or phrase. Correlation is a relationship, slang is informal language and expansion is the opposite of shortening.

So only abbreviation fits.

The word comes from the Latin 'abbreviare', to shorten. Examples are 'Dr.' for Doctor and 'etc.' for et cetera. An acronym such as NASA is a kind of abbreviation that is read as a word.
