Question

Rajeev failed in the examination because his answers were not ……. to the questions asked

• A. allusive
• B. pertinent
• C. revealing
• D. referential

Hint:

"Pertinent" refers to something that is directly relevant to the subject or question being discussed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: The word ``pertinent" means relevant or applicable to the matter at hand. In this context, the statement suggests that Rajeev's answers were not relevant to the questions asked. 
Step 2: The other Option: 
- ``Allusive" refers to something that hints at or indirectly suggests something else, which doesn't fit in this context. 
- ``Revealing" means making something known, which is unrelated to the relevance of the answers. 
- ``Referential" refers to something that points to or refers to something else, but it doesn't specifically imply relevance. 
Thus, the correct answer is option (B) pertinent.
