Choose the one word that can replace the phrase.
A place where birds are kept
Options
- (A) Apiary
- (B) Aquarium
- (C) Aviary
- (D) Arboretum
Answer
(C) Aviary
Solution
- All four words start with A, so the meaning has to be checked carefully.
- An apiary is where bees are kept, an aquarium is for fish, and an arboretum is a garden of trees.
- Aviary comes from the Latin word for bird, so it is the place where birds are kept.
