Question

Select the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word. The lavish party had a luxurious atmosphere and elegant decorations.

• A. Simple
• B. Happy
• C. Excessive
• D. Middling

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Excessive

• 1. Meaning of the Underlined Word: Lavish means something that is sumptuously rich, elaborate, or luxurious. It implies that a large amount of money, effort, or resources has been spent—often to the point of being excessive. 2. Finding the Synonym: A synonym is a word with a similar meaning. Excessive is the most appropriate choice here because a "lavish" party is one that goes beyond the basic or necessary, using an abundance of food, decor, and space.
