Which one of the following words is most similar in meaning to the word 'gigantic' as used in the passage (Para 4) ?
Answer: D
The word closest in meaning to 'gigantic' is huge.
Gigantic means extremely large, like a giant; the passage speaks of the 'gigantic' Kinnaur Kailash range. Huge has the same core meaning of very great size.
Terrifying describes the effect something has on us (the passage uses it for the Sutlej gorge), formidable means inspiring fear or respect through size or strength, and high refers to height only. None simply means very large.
