Question : Select the most appropriate antonym to substitute the (bracketed) word in the given sentence.
Given (sufficient) effort, all known infectious agents can be specifically identified.
Option 1: unrefined
Option 2: optimal
Option 3: trivial
Option 4: captivity
Correct Answer: trivial
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In the context of the sentence, sufficient implies an amount or level of effort that is satisfactory or enough for the purpose. The antonym should represent an insufficient or inadequate amount of effort. Trivial fits this context as it means something that is of little importance or significance, suggesting a lack of effort or seriousness.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Unrefined : This word refers to something that is not purified or processed.
- Optimal : This word means the best or most favourable.
- Captivity : This term refers to the state of being captive or imprisoned.
So, the correct sentence would be: "Given trivial effort, all known infectious agents can be specifically identified."
