Correct Answer: Gigantic


Solution : The first option is correct.

  • Colossal and gigantic are synonyms that both convey the idea of immense size or scale.
  • Lilliputian , minute , and minuscule all convey the opposite meaning, suggesting something tiny.

In the context of the sentence, which describes the size of granite obelisks erected by kings, the most fitting synonym would be gigantic, emphasising the massive and imposing nature of the obelisks.

Therefore, the correct answer will be gigantic.
