Which one of the following words is similar in meaning to the word 'magnanimous' as used in the passage?
Answer: B
The word closest in meaning to 'magnanimous' is Generous.
Magnanimous means generous and forgiving, especially towards a rival or someone weaker, and rising above pettiness. A king who calmly offers his own flesh to save a dove is magnanimous.
Selfish and petty are its opposites: selfish means caring only for oneself, and petty means small-minded about trivial things. Suspicious means distrustful, which has nothing to do with generosity.
