Directions: Identify the words that are similar in meaning to the phrase in underline. If none of option conveys the correct meaning, mark (E) as your answer. The options do not necessarily need to be grammatically correct.

A recent development that bodes well for the future is the collaboration between Panasonic and Tata Elxsi to develop smart solutions and products.

Definite

Clues

Certain

Augur

None of the above

Explanation:

Bode: refers to forecasting/indicate/augur
Something bodes well when the clues or signs imply a favorable outcome.
Ex: Because I am a light sleeper, the dog's barking does not bode well for my desire to take a nap.
Definite and certain are the opposite of indicate and incorrect.
Clues is irrelevant.
Only augur meaning foretell/portend/signify/bode is correct.
Hence, option D is correct.
