    Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word. PREROGATIVE
    Question

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
    PREROGATIVE

    A.

    obligation

    B.

    duty

    C.

    privilege

    D.

    liability

    Correct option is C


    The correct synonym of the given word "PREROGATIVE" is (c) privilege.
    · Prerogative: This term refers to a right or privilege exclusive to a particular individual or class. In legal and formal contexts, it implies a special right or privilege that allows an individual to perform certain actions that are not generally accessible to everyone.
    · Prerogative: विशेषाधिकार (in Hindi).
    Example: It is the manager's prerogative to allocate funds within his department.
    · Privilege: This word also denotes a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people, aligning well with the meaning of "prerogative."
    Example: Enjoying diplomatic immunity is a privilege granted to diplomats.
    · Synonyms: right, entitlement, advantage, privilege.
    · Antonyms: disadvantage, duty, obligation, penalty.
    Meanings of all the other given options:
    · Obligation: A duty or commitment; it's something one is bound to do, quite different from a privilege.
    · Duty: A moral or legal obligation; a responsibility, not a privilege.
    · Liability: A state of being responsible for something, especially in legal or financial terms; again, not synonymous with privilege.
