Choose the word nearest in meaning to 'desolation'.
Answer: D
The word nearest in meaning to 'desolation' is barrenness.
Desolation means a state of complete emptiness and ruin, a place left bare and lifeless. Barrenness, the state of being bare and unable to support life, is the closest match.
Despair is loss of hope, a feeling, and pessimism is a tendency to expect the worst; both touch the emotional sense of desolation but not its sense of emptiness. Fertility is its opposite.
