Hateful
Dreadful
Indifferent
Merciless
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. Merciless.
A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. In this case, the word “cruel” means “causing pain or suffering to others, especially deliberately.” The words “hateful,” “dreadful,” and “indifferent” do not have the same meaning as “cruel.”
- Hateful means “feeling or showing intense dislike or aversion.”
- Dreadful means “causing or feeling great fear or anxiety.”
- Indifferent means “not caring about or interested in something.”
Merciless means “showing or feeling no mercy.” This is the closest synonym to “cruel” because it also refers to causing pain or suffering to others.
