Each of the following two items consists of a sentence followed by four words. Select the synonym of the word (occurring in the sentence in capital letters) as per the context.

What a TEDIOUS lecture we attended yesterday !

  • A.Intellectual
  • B.Exciting
  • C.Ordinary
  • D.Boring.

Answer: D

The synonym of TEDIOUS is Boring.

Tedious describes something too long, slow or dull to hold one's interest, so a tedious lecture is a boring one. Its noun is tedium, and close synonyms are monotonous, wearisome and dull.

Exciting means the opposite. Intellectual describes the content of a lecture, which may be tedious or not, and ordinary means unremarkable rather than tiresome, so neither carries the sense of weariness that tedious has.
