EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
The serenity of the place overwhelmed me. Replace the underlined word with a suitable word. [Underlined word: serenity]
- a.Noiselessness
- b.Calmness
- c.Isolation
- d.Seclusion
Answer: (B) Calmness
'Serenity' means the state of being calm, peaceful and untroubled, so 'calmness' (also tranquillity, placidity) is the right replacement. 'Noiselessness' is merely the absence of sound, while 'isolation' and 'seclusion' mean being alone or cut off - a place can be secluded without being serene. The adjective is 'serene'; antonyms are agitation, turmoil, disturbance.
