IBPS PO 2018 · Question 21 of 98

In the following question, a word has been given. Choose the sentence(s) in which it is used correctly. Word: Trauma. (A) The three girl's voices created a beautiful trauma over the loudspeaker. (B) The trauma of spices was mixed in, with one of the three being pepper. (C) The trauma of living in a concentration camp was a suffering that the survivors couldn't get over easily.

Word Usage

  1. AOnly A
  2. BOnly B
  3. COnly CCorrect
  4. DBoth A and B
  5. EAll are correct

Answer: C. Only C

Explanation

Correct answer: Option 3, i.e., Only C. The word 'Trauma' means 'emotional shock' or 'damage'. The only option that uses the word 'trauma' correctly is (c). It can be re-written as: (c) The emotional shock of living in a concentration camp was a suffering that the survivors couldn't get over easily. Both (a) and (b) use the word incorrectly and therefore the sentences formed are vague and meaningless.
