   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Ominous

   Correct Answer: Ominous
   Explanation:
   The phrase "giving the worrying impression that something bad is going to happen" is best captured by the word "ominous."
   • Ominous means threatening or indicating a future danger or misfortune (अनिष्टसूचक या अशुभ संकेत देने वाला).
   Let’s examine the other options:
   • Bleak – means cold, hopeless, or without encouragement (उदास या निराशाजनक), but doesn’t always suggest something bad is about to happen.
   • Desolate – means empty, deserted, or sorrowful (वीरान या उदास), more about appearance or mood.
   • Suspicious – means distrustful or doubtful (संदिग्ध), unrelated to predicting bad outcomes.
   So, the correct one-word substitute is: Ominous.

Examples

• “Dark clouds gathered, giving an ominous sign of the storm ahead.”
