Question

Which among the following is a synonym of the word 'pensive'?

• A. contemplative
• B. affirmative
• C. sensitive
• D. purgative

Answer 1

Answer:

A. contemplative

"Pensive / ദുഃഖചിന്തയിലാണ്ട" means deeply thoughtful, often with a tinge of sadness, which is synonymous with "contemplative / ചിന്താവിഷ്ടനായ." The other options do not have this meaning: "affirmative" means agreeing / സമ്മതിക്കുന്ന, "sensitive / പെട്ടെന്നുപ്രതികരിക്കുന്ന" means easily affected or responsive, and "purgative / ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കുന്ന" means cleansing or cathartic.
