AnnounceAnswer & explanation
Answer: B) Advertise
Correct Answer: Advertise
Explanation:
The word "announce" means to make something known publicly or officially (घोषणा करना). It involves informing people openly, often through speech, print, or media.
Among the options:
• Advertise means to make something publicly known, especially to promote it (प्रचार करना). This is the closest synonym, as both involve public communication.
• Hide means to conceal or keep secret (छिपाना) — the opposite of "announce".
• Denounce means to criticise publicly (निंदा करना) — different in intent and tone.
• Secret is something that is kept hidden (राज़) — again, opposite in meaning.
Thus, the most appropriate synonym of "announce" is "advertise."
