Underlined word: terminal
EnglishSynonyms
- Asublunary
- Bterrific
- Cchronic
- Dincurable
Explanation
A "terminal disease" is one that will cause death because it is beyond cure. "Incurable" is therefore the nearest in meaning. "Chronic" (long-lasting) need not be fatal, "terrific" means intense or great, and "sublunary" (earthly) is unrelated. Hence (D).
