Question

Select the most appropriate option that means the same as the underlined group of words (round the year) to fill in the blank.

Most of the rivers dry up during the summer season, but the Ganga is full of water round the year because it is __________.

Accepted Answer

The phrase 'round the year' means throughout the entire year or continuously. 'Perennial' means lasting or existing for a long or apparently infinite time; enduring or continually recurring. In the context of rivers, a perennial river is one that flows all year round. 'Biennial' means occurring every two years, 'biannual' means twice a year, and 'annual' means once a year. Hence, the correct synonym for 'round the year' in this context is 'perennial'.
