Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Sanct = पवित्र/सुरक्षित (sanctity वाला), और -ary = जगह (aviary, library की तरह)। Sanctuary = सुरक्षित जगह, जैसे bird sanctuary जहाँ पक्षी safe रहते हैं।

SANCT means holy and safe (as in sanctity), and -ARY means a place, as in aviary and library. So a sanctuary is a safe place, and a wildlife sanctuary is a safe home for birds and animals.

Exam note

जगहों का परिवार: sanctuary (वन्यजीव), aviary (पक्षी), aquarium (मछली), apiary (मधुमक्खी), asylum (शरण) — options में साथ आते हैं।

Part of the place family: sanctuary (wildlife), aviary (birds), aquarium (fish), apiary (bees) and asylum (refuge) are offered together, so match the creature carefully.
