Question

Choose the correct word from the options which is similar to the word given in capitals in the sentence: 
The committee rejected the proposal as UNTENABLE after careful scrutiny.

• A. Defensible
• B. Plausible
• C. Indefensible
• D. Ambiguous

Hint:

If a word contains a negative prefix like “un-”, look for a synonym with a similar negative sense.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Synonym questions require understanding the exact meaning of the highlighted word. Explanation: The word untenable means something that cannot be defended or justified logically. The closest synonym is indefensible, which also means impossible to justify. 
Other options: 
Defensible = opposite meaning 
Plausible = believable
Ambiguous = unclear 
Thus, option (C) is correct.
