Question

Which of the following word best replaces the word interim (line 4, para 5)?

• A. strict
• B. mandatory
• C. conclusive
• D. temporary
• E.

Hint:

When looking for synonyms for terms related to time, such as "interim", consider words like "temporary" or "provisional".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. "Interim" describes something that holds only until a permanent arrangement takes its place.
2. "Strict" and "mandatory" describe the nature or force of a rule, not its duration, and "conclusive" suggests finality, the opposite of what is needed.
3. "Temporary" is the only option that matches the short-term, stop-gap sense of "interim."

So the correct answer is (D) temporary.
