Question

Complete the following sentence with the most appropriate noun:
He has made a major __________ of that simple problem.

• A. task
• B. issue
• C. none of these
• D. job

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The correct option is C issue

The words, 'simple problem' in the sentence indicates that the word which fills the blank means the opposite of these words. The words, 'task' and 'job' means the same i.e a piece of work to be done. They do not mean the opposite of 'simple problem'. Hence, options A and B are not appropriate answers.

The word, 'issue' means 'an important topic or problem for debate or discussion'. This word means the opposite of the words, 'simple problem and fits the blank perfectly. The sentence, 'He has made a major issue of that simple problem', means: 'He has created a major problem out of a simple problem'. Hence, option C is correct.

Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer.
