Q2
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Fill in the blank with the suitable option: She _____ from the bus and walked to the back-gate.
- a.boarded
- b.stepped
- c.moved
- d.alighted
Answer: (D) alighted
'Alight' means to get down from a bus, train or other vehicle, and it naturally takes 'from', so 'alighted from the bus' fits both grammar and sense. 'Boarded' is the opposite (to get on) and takes no preposition; 'stepped' would need 'down from' or 'off', and 'moved from the bus' is unidiomatic. Remember the pairs: board/embark (get on) versus alight/disembark (get off).
