Question

Choose the word most similar in meaning to the given word: DECRE 

• A. request
• B. appeal
• C. compel
• D. command
• E.

Hint:

"Decree" usually implies an official order or ruling, so always look for a synonym related to authority or order.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. A decree is a formal, binding order issued with authority.
2. "Request" and "appeal" carry no binding force, and "compel" describes the act of forcing rather than the formal order itself.
3. "Command" matches a decree's sense of an authoritative, binding directive.

So the correct answer is (D) command.
