Which word is closest in meaning to parlour?
The night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Room
"Parlour" (British English) = a sitting room or reception room in a private house; a comfortable room for entertaining guests; a living room. In the sentence, the parlour has blinds drawn and a fire burning brightly — clearly an indoor room. "Room" is the closest in meaning among the options. "Tunnel" = an underground passage (not a room). "Balcony" = an outdoor/semi-outdoor platform attached to a building. "Garden" = an outdoor area. All other options are not indoor living spaces. "Room" — specifically a sitting/living room — best captures the meaning of parlour. Option C is correct.
