Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Drove

The correct answer is 'Drove.'

• Let us explore the marked option: 
  • 'Drove' means to force people or animals to move in a particular direction (पशु, व्‍यक्ति आदि को) एक विशेष दिशा में हाँकनाह).
    • For example - Vikas was wounded in his left leg, but escaped behind a drove of cattle near the timber.
       

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

  • Cluster means a group of people, plants or things that stand or grow close together. (व्‍यक्तियों, पौधों या वस्‍तुओं का झुंड, समूह, गुच्‍छा)
    • For example - She held a cluster of flowers in her arms.
  • Throng means a large crowd of people. (लोगों की भारी भीड़; जमावड़ा, जनसमुदाय)
    • For example - A huge throng had gathered around the speaker.
