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.
You will have to arrange for a provisional license.

• A. routine
• B. temporary
• C. transient
• D. restricted

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Italicized word ‘Provisional’ means temporary or interim. The best fit as meaning of this word is Option D ‘Temporary’. Temporary means which is not permanent or is for a short time. The context of the sentence is that a temporary license has to be arranged. Option A ‘Transient’ means short-lived or brief. Option B ‘restricted’ means confined or in a limited scope. Option C ‘routine’ means a procedure or a series of actions performed regularly. So, the best fit here is Option D, ‘Temporary’.
