Which word can best replace comprehension?
Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Understanding
Meaning: comprehension = the ability to understand; understanding *(समझ, बोध)*.
Framton's look is meant to show the niece that he feels for her and grasps her situation — sympathetic *understanding*.
understanding = sympathetic awareness; a grasp of a matter *(समझ, सहानुभूतिपूर्ण बोध)* — the same idea in a plainer word.
Why the others are wrong.
• confusion = lack of understanding *(भ्रम, उलझन)* — the opposite.
• question = a doubt or query *(प्रश्न, सवाल)* — a questioning look is puzzled, not sympathetic.
• doubt = uncertainty, disbelief *(संदेह)* — sympathy and doubt do not pair.
Word help.
shivered = trembled slightly *(काँप उठा)*.
convey = to communicate, make known *(व्यक्त करना)*.
