Single correct option
Choose the word most nearly the SAME in meaning as: MITIGATE
- A. Alleviate
- B. Aggravate
- C. Migrate
- D. Postpone
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Alleviate
To 'mitigate' is to make something less severe, so 'alleviate' is the synonym. 'Aggravate' is its antonym and a common trap. 'Migrate' is a look-alike word unrelated in sense, and 'postpone' means to delay, which does not reduce the severity of anything.
