Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The word insignificant more accurately conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

Insignificant means something that lacks importance or is not noteworthy. Insignificant is commonly used to describe things that lack influence or importance, while trivial is used to describe unimportant matters.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Harmful means to cause harm and is not the appropriate word according to the context of the sentence.
  • Tolerable also does not fit the context.
  • Tolerable means something that can be endured or tolerated, and it doesn't convey the intended meaning that Jatin's case was of little importance or significance. It would change the meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, " Jatin's case against Jagat was insignificant."
