Directions: Identify the words that are similar in meaning to the phrase in bold. If none of the options conveys the correct meaning, mark (E) as your answer. The options do not necessarily need to be grammatically correct. When she heard the news, she was like a dog with two tails .
Options
- AVery morose
- BVery enthusiastic
- CVery greedy
- DVery happy
Correct answer
D. Very happy
Step-by-step solution
Like a dog with two tails : If someone is like a dog with two tails, they are extremely happy. Morose means miserable and is opposite to what the phrase means. Greedy and enthusiastic also do not convey the correct meaning. Only very happy matches well. Hence, option D is correct.
