What is a synonym of 'flooded'?

  1. Drained

  2. Inundated

  3. Dry

  4. Cleared

The correct answer is: Inundated

The term 'inundated' serves as a synonym for 'flooded' because both words describe a situation where an area is overwhelmed or submerged by water. Inundation refers specifically to an excess of water, often resulting from heavy rainfall, rising water levels, or other water-related events, which aligns closely with the meaning of being flooded. The other choices do not convey the same meaning. For instance, ‘drained’ indicates the removal of water, ‘dry’ suggests the absence of moisture, and ‘cleared’ implies the act of removing obstacles or eliminating something, none of which reflect the concept of being overwhelmed by water. Therefore, ‘inundated’ effectively captures the essence of 'flooded.'
