WBCS Preliminary Examination 2018 — General Studies · Question 13 of 200

Q13
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Fill in the blank with the appropriate word: She liked the ______ plan better.
  1. a.latter
  2. b.later
  3. c.fast
  4. d.early

Answer: (A) latter

'Latter' means the second of two things already mentioned (opposite: 'former'), so 'the latter plan' is the second of the two plans. 'Later' refers to time (later than, opposite: earlier) and would need a different construction. 'Fast' and 'early' do not fit the sense of choosing between plans. Remember: late - later - latest (time), late - latter - last (order).
