Which word can be the nearest synonym for the word 'instinct' ?

  • A.hatred
  • B.affinity
  • C.premonition
  • D.inclination

Answer: D

The nearest synonym for 'instinct' is inclination.

An instinct, in a phrase like 'an instinct for adventure', is a natural tendency or bent towards something. 'Inclination' means exactly such a natural tendency or liking.

'Affinity' is a liking or attraction, close but weaker as a description of an innate urge; 'premonition' is a feeling that something will happen; 'hatred' is unrelated.
