Which word can mean a blessing or something helpful?

• A. Bond
• B. Boon
• C. Benefit
• D. Bias

Answer: (B)

A boon is a word that captures something beneficial or blessing-like, especially when it arrives at just the right time. It conveys both the idea of help and a sense of good fortune, so it fits well when you want to describe something that brings relief, advantage, or a welcome lift. For example, getting a scholarship after a tough semester can be a real boon to a student, and new technology can be a boon to researchers by speeding up their work.

Bond refers to a connection or tie between people or things, not something that provides help or blessing. Benefit means an advantage or profit, which is close in meaning but doesn’t always carry the nuance of a blessing or timely aid as strongly. Bias is a preference or prejudice that distorts judgment, having no positive sense of aid or blessing.
