Select the most appropriate synonym of the word: PROCLIVITY
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Tendency
Meaning: proclivity = a natural tendency or inclination to do something *(प्रवृत्ति, झुकाव)*.
Example: *He has a proclivity for exaggeration* — he tends to exaggerate.
Its synonym is tendency = an inclination to act in a particular way *(प्रवृत्ति, रुझान)*.
Answer: (3) Tendency
Why the others are wrong.
• aversion = strong dislike *(अरुचि, घृणा)* — the opposite of a leaning towards something.
• dislike = a feeling of not liking *(नापसंद)* — again the opposite direction.
• indifference = lack of interest or concern *(उदासीनता)* — no leaning either way, so not a tendency.
*Pro-CLIV-ity: "leaning forward" (Latin clivus = slope) — you lean towards what you are prone to.*
