Which word is nearest in meaning to robust?
His nerves were far from robust.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Strong
Meaning: robust = strong and healthy, sturdy *(मज़बूत, हृष्ट-पुष्ट)*.
strong = having great power or endurance *(मज़बूत, बलवान)* — the match.
"His nerves were far from robust" = his nerves were far from strong, i.e. weak — but the question asks the meaning of *robust*, not of the sentence.
Why the others are wrong.
• Weak = lacking strength *(कमज़ोर)* — the antonym; "far from robust" *implies* weak, which is the trap.
• Nervous = anxious, easily agitated *(घबराया हुआ)* — pulled from the word *nerves*, not from robust.
• Fragile = easily broken, delicate *(नाज़ुक)* — another antonym.
Word help.
nerves here = one's courage and composure *(साहस, धैर्य)*.
