Question

Out of the four alternatives, choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the given word: METICULOUS

• A. FALSE
• B. CAREFUL
• C. CASUAL
• D. CAREFREE

Hint:

Always consider both the dictionary meaning and tone of the word when identifying synonyms. "Meticulous" is both detailed and serious in tone.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the meaning of "meticulous".
"Meticulous" is used to describe a person who pays extreme attention to detail. Such a person is very precise, thorough, and careful in their work or behavior. Step 2: Analyze the options.
FALSE: Means untrue or incorrect — not related to attention to detail.
CAREFUL: Someone who takes great care and is thorough — this matches "meticulous".
CASUAL: Relaxed or unconcerned — the opposite of meticulous.
CAREFREE: Without worry — also opposite in tone to meticulous.
Hence, the word that best expresses the meaning is CAREFUL.
