Q22
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Fill in the blank with the correct word: A ______ bow was seen in the sky.
- a.multicoloured
- b.shooting
- c.staring
- d.melodious
Answer: (A) multicoloured
A 'multicoloured bow' in the sky is a rainbow, formed by refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of sunlight in raindrops (seven colours, VIBGYOR). 'Shooting' collocates with star (shooting star = meteor), not with bow; 'staring' and 'melodious' (sweet-sounding) cannot describe a bow. The question tests choosing the adjective that fits the noun and the context.
