Question 107

Malapropism : Words

Solution

Share

Malapropism (also called dogberryism) relates to using a different word with similar sound as the original giving a humorous meaning. Anachronism is a similar play of events from different periods of time. Hence (a) is the correct answer.

Jinjanthropism is not an English word. Ellipsis relates to omission of words from a sentence that are superfluous. Catechism is a set of questions and answers of Christian religion. None of these have the same relationship as the original analogy.
