Q511

Synonym of ENTANGLE

A.
Confuse
B.
Trap
Answer
C.
Perplex
D.
Submerge

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let's look at the options:
Option A: Confuse
Confuse means to make someone uncertain or unable to understand something. While being entangled *could* be confusing, it's not the main meaning.

Option B: Trap
Trap means to catch or hold someone in a place or situation from which they cannot escape. This is very close to the meaning of "entangle," as it implies being caught or held in something.

Option C: Perplex
Perplex is similar to confuse, meaning to make someone feel completely baffled. Again, while entanglement *might* lead to perplexity, it's not the direct synonym.

Option D: Submerge
Submerge means to cover something completely with a liquid. This has a completely different meaning than "entangle."

Explanation of the Answer:
The best synonym for "ENTANGLE" is B: Trap because "entangle" means to involve someone or something in a difficult situation that is hard to escape from, similar to being trapped.

Therefore, the correct answer is B: Trap.
