In each question, the word at the top of the table is used in different ways. Choose the option in which the usage of the word is INCORRECT or INAPPROPRIATE.
Distinct
Answer: A
A more appropriate word for option 1 is ‘clear’ in place of “distinct”. The awkwardness is evident when you read out the sentence. For example, we don’t say that, ‘it is distinct that option 1 is inaccurate’.
In option 2 “distinct” has been used in its usual sense, to mean, “readily distinguishable from others’ and the sentence is correct.
In option 3, “distinct” means, “easily perceived by the senses or the intellect” and has been correctly used.
In the fourth sentence, “distinct” again means ‘distinguishable from others’ and the sentence is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
