Discussion
Which one of the following options is the closest in meaning to the word given below?
Mitigate
Answer: A
The closest meaning is Diminish.
To mitigate is to make something less severe, serious or painful, as in mitigating the effects of a flood or mitigating circumstances in a trial. To diminish is to make or become less, which is the same core idea.
The distractors share only the first letter. To divulge is to reveal a secret; to dedicate is to devote to a purpose or person; to denote is to indicate or stand for something. None of them involves lessening.
