Shrill
Rigorous
Dry
Strained
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is B. Rigorous.
A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. In this case, the word “stringent” means “strict, demanding, or severe.” The word “rigorous” also means “strict, demanding, or severe.” The other words, “shrill,” “dry,” and “strained,” do not have the same meaning as “stringent.”
- Shrill means “high-pitched and piercing.”
- Dry means “not having or containing any moisture.”
- Strained means “forced or unnatural.”
Here are some examples of how the word “stringent” can be used in a sentence:
- The teacher had a stringent policy on tardiness.
- The company had a stringent dress code.
- The government has imposed stringent new regulations on businesses.
