“Corrode” means to gradually destroy or damage (something, typically metal) through a chemical process, often involving rust or oxidation. “Decay” is a synonym as it also means to undergo a gradual deterioration or decomposition, often due to chemical or biological processes.
Here are the reasons the other options are not synonyms for “corrode”:
A. Strengthen: This is the opposite of corrode; it means to make something stronger or more robust.
C. Polish: This means to make something smooth and shiny by rubbing, which is quite the opposite of corroding.
D. Assemble: This means to put together different parts to make a whole, which is unrelated to the concept of corrosion.
The correct answer to the question: "Which of the following is a synonym for “corrode”?" is "Decay".
