Question

Of these four words, which one is most likely to have a negative flavor?

A. Distract
B. Harangue
C. Meander
D. Confound

Answer 1

B is the correct answer. Because 'distract' means to divert somebody from something, but isn't always negative. 'Meander' means to follow a winding course, usually referred to rivers. 'Confound' means to confuse. And 'harangue' which is the correct answer, means 'a lengthy and aggressive speech'.
