Choose the word which is most nearly the same in meaning as the word 'thwarted' as used in the passage.
Answer: A
The word closest in meaning to 'thwarted' is opposed.
In the passage, the idea of making Hindi the national language 'was thwarted by the recalcitrance of the speakers of other important Indian languages'. To thwart is to prevent someone from accomplishing something by opposing it. Among the options, 'opposed' comes nearest to this sense of resistance that blocks a plan.
Implemented and accepted are the opposite of thwarted. Diverted means turned in another direction, which is not the same as being blocked.
