Question

During Covid times, many organisations made ________ appeals to raise funds for migrant workers.

(Select the most appropriate synonym of the bracketed word **'sentimental'** to fill in the blank.)

Accepted Answer

The word 'sentimental' refers to showing or causing a lot of emotion, often excessively so. 'Mawkish' means overly sentimental or emotional, especially in a way that is exaggerated or insincere. The other options do not mean the same as 'sentimental': 'sincere' means genuine, 'cynical' means distrustful of human sincerity, and 'practical' means realistic or pragmatic. Therefore, 'mawkish' is the most appropriate synonym.
