Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The passage talks about a sense of freedom while being alone in a carriage.
- The word should suggest that the form of liberty is one that can be enjoyed or is pleasant in its simplicity.
- "Agreeable" means pleasant or enjoyable, aligning with the description of liberty.
- Other options ("detestable", "humour", "miserable") do not fit the context of describing an enjoyable or pleasant form of liberty.
- Detestable (घिनौना): "Detestable" means deserving intense dislike, which contradicts the sense of freedom being discussed.
- Humour (मज़ाक): "Humour" means the quality of being amusing, which does not convey the intended idea of freedom in form.
- Miserable (दुखी): "Miserable" means very unhappy or uncomfortable, which is the opposite of the pleasant sense of freedom mentioned.
