Which of the following is SIMILAR in meaning to the word SMOTHER as used in the passage?

Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Bureaucratic culture is against any transformation; so it suppresses those who want to bring any change in organisations. Note: The meaning of the word ‘smother’ as mentioned in the passage is ‘to prevent something from developing or being noticed’; ‘to suppress of stifling something’.
Hence the words ‘smother’ and ‘suppress’ are synonymous.
