Select the synonym of Marvel.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Wonder
Meaning: marvel = a wonderful or astonishing thing; to be filled with wonder *(आश्चर्य, अद्भुत वस्तु; चकित होना)*.
wonder = a feeling of amazement, or the thing that causes it *(आश्चर्य, विस्मय)* — the exact match.
The Taj Mahal is a *marvel* of architecture, one of the *wonders* of the world.
Why the others are wrong.
• horror = intense fear or disgust *(भय, विभीषिका)* — a negative feeling, not admiration.
• fear = the feeling of being afraid *(डर)* — nothing astonishing about it.
• shame = a painful feeling of guilt or embarrassment *(लज्जा, शर्म)* — the opposite of pride in something splendid.
*Marvel and wonder are both nouns and verbs: we marvel at a wonder, we wonder at a marvel.*
