Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
‘Whistle’ is clearly an incorrect answer option. ‘Mingle’ could have been the correct answer, but we have to look for two words that impart the same meaning to the sentence and so in the absence of a synonym for ‘mingle’ in the given list, B is incorrect. Out of the remaining answer option, the words, ‘vie’ and ‘compete’ are the closest to each other in meaning and therefore, C and E are the correct answers.
