Question

Choose the word(s) which can correctly replace the word(s) printed in italic bold in the sentence without changing the meaning of it.
All the characters in the novel are fictitious.

• A. unreliable
• B. unbelievable
• C. insightful
• D. imaginary

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

'Fictitious' means not real or true. So, the meaning of the word is option D 'Imaginary' which also means not real. Option A 'unreliable' means untrustworthy. Option B 'unbelievable' means difficult to believe as it is unlikely. Option C 'insightful' means showing a deep understanding of a complicated problem. Thus, options A, B and C are incorrect as meaning of 'fictitious' and the correct option is option D 'Imaginary'.
