Choose the word which most nearly means the same as the underlined one in the following expression

'... nation's booming small and medium ...'

  • A.loud
  • B.supplanting
  • C.noisy
  • D.growing

Answer: D

The word closest in meaning to booming is growing.

Used of a business or an economy, booming means growing rapidly and prospering, as in 'a booming market'. 'The nation's booming small and medium enterprises' are firms that are expanding and doing well.

Loud and noisy relate to the other sense of boom, a deep resonant sound, which does not fit a description of enterprises. Supplanting means replacing or taking the place of something, which is a different idea altogether.
