Question

Pick out the most effective word from the given words to fill in the blanks to make the sentence meaningfully complete. Her claim was so _________ that it required no further evidence

• A. doubtful
• B. ambiguous
• C. self-evident
• D. equivocal

Hint:

Identify the definition pattern: ``required no further evidence'' is the dictionary definition of the word ``self-evident''.
Matching clues to exact lexical definitions is a reliable strategy for sentence completion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the context.
The sentence says the claim required no further evidence to support it, meaning it was obvious on its own.
Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options.
"Doubtful" and "ambiguous" suggest uncertainty; "equivocal" means open to more than one interpretation. All three contradict the idea of a claim needing no further proof.
Step 3: Select the correct word.
"Self-evident" means clearly true or obvious by itself without requiring any proof or demonstration, making it the perfect fit.
\[ \boxed{\text{self-evident}} \]
