Deluge को 'धुल जाए' की तरह सुनिए — deluge यानी ऐसी बाढ़ जिसमें सब कुछ धुल जाए। किसी चीज़ की भरमार को भी deluge कहते हैं, जैसे deluge of letters। Drought इसका उल्टा है।

Hear 'Deluge' as 'dhul jaaye' (gets washed away): in a deluge, a great flood washes everything away. It is also used for a flood of things, such as a deluge of letters. Its opposite is drought.

Exam note

Deluge के synonym flood, torrent और inundation हैं; drought, dearth और trickle antonym हैं। इसे delude (धोखा देना) से मत मिलाइए।

Flood, torrent and inundation are its synonyms; drought, dearth and trickle are its antonyms. Do not confuse it with delude (to deceive).
