Question

Their achievement in the field of literature is described as ___________; sometimes, it is even called ____________

• A. magnificent, irresponsible
• B. insignificant, influential
• C. significant, paltry
• D. unimportant, trivial
• E.

Hint:

For negative descriptions of importance, look for adjectives like "insignificant," "unimportant," or "trivial." These words highlight the lack of value or influence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This sentence is talking about achievements in literature being described in a negative light. To determine the right words, let's analyze each option: - The adjective "unimportant" and "trivial" both suggest something of little importance or significance. They fit the tone of the sentence, where the achievements are dismissed or undervalued. - "Significant" and "paltry" in option (C) do not align as "significant" would contradict the tone of minimal importance. Similarly, "paltry" alone doesn't quite match the description of insignificance. Therefore, the words "unimportant" and "trivial" fit best to describe something considered of little value, making (D) the correct answer.
