    Which words can be used as synonyms for the word smuggler?

    • Gentleman & Knight

    • Thief & Bugler

    • Prince & President

    • Handsome & Charming

    Correct Answer
    A. Thief & Bugler
    Explanation
    The words "thief" and "bugler" can be used as synonyms for the word "smuggler" because all three terms refer to individuals who engage in illegal activities. A smuggler is someone who transports or trades in goods that are prohibited or subject to restriction, often evading customs or taxes. Similarly, a thief is a person who steals, while a bugler is someone who breaks into buildings to commit theft. Therefore, these two words closely relate to the concept of smuggling and can be used interchangeably.
