Choose the appropriate word which is closest in meaning to the underlined word:-

The school focused on the holistic development of children.

A. physical

B. overall

C. comprehensive

D. cognitive

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Holistic means considering the whole rather than parts, so its closest synonyms are 'overall' (B) and 'comprehensive' (C). 'Physical' and 'cognitive' each name only one aspect of development, so they are not synonyms. Hence B and C only.
