Fill in the blanks in the passage with the most appropriate set of words from the options for each blank.
Their achievement in the field of literature is described as ______; sometimes it is even called ______.
Explanation:
There is an absence of a contrasting keyword like but, although etc. Therefore, the two words for the blanks have to be synonyms here. Plus, both the words apply to the same thing, that is, ‘achievement in the field of literature’. Either the achievement would be insignificant or really significant but not both at the same time. Magnificent (superb) and irresponsible (careless, negligent) do not share similar meanings (option 1). Something which is influential has some degree of significance and not insignificance (option 2). Paltry or worthless would be an antonym of significant (option 3). Only in option 4 both unimportant and trivial share similarity. Something unimportant is trivial.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
