Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To find the closest synonym for the word "GERMANE," let's explore the meanings of the given options:

1. Responsible: This means having an obligation to do something or having control over someone.
2. Trivial: This means of little importance or value; insignificant.
3. Logical: This means of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument.
4. Relevant: This means closely connected or appropriate to the matter at hand.
5. Impertinent: This means not showing proper respect; rude or irrelevant.

The word "GERMANE" means something that is closely related, relevant, or significant to the topic at hand. Therefore, the option that best matches this definition is:

• Relevant

Explanation:

• Relevant is the closest synonym because it shares the same meaning of being closely connected or pertinent to the subject under consideration.
• Responsible and Logical don't relate to the idea of relevance.
• Trivial is the opposite of germane in terms of importance or significance.
• Impertinent directly contrasts with the idea of being relevant or appropriate.

Thus, the correct answer is: Relevant.
