Question

Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which one of the following does not belong to that group?

• A. Trivial
• B. Unimportant
• C. Important
• D. Insignificant

Hint:

Check if three options are synonyms and one is an antonym.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine which option does not belong to the group, we need to identify the common characteristic shared by three of the given words and see which one is different.

1. Trivial - This word means something of little value or importance.
2. Unimportant - This word denotes something that lacks significance or relevance.
3. Important - This word means something that holds significance or is of considerable value.
4. Insignificant - This word also means lacking importance or value.

Analyzing the meanings of the words:

• The words "Trivial," "Unimportant," and "Insignificant" all convey a sense of something being of little or no importance.
• The word "Important," on the other hand, conveys the opposite meaning, as it refers to something that is significant or valuable.

Hence, the word "Important" does not belong to the group. This is because it differs in meaning by signifying significance as opposed to the lack of it, which the other words imply.
