For every word a sentence is given, you have to find out the option which represents the similar meaning to the given word.
OSTENSIBLE - The watchmen's ostensible job is to guard this building.
Explanation:
Blatant is ‘unpleasantly loud’ or ‘obtrusive’ which is definitely not the case here. Don’t confuse it with ‘blatant truth’. Here, the meaning has to do with something very basic. Guarding a building at night cannot be an ostentatious (showy) job. Nor, can it be an insidious (sinister) job. Ostensible means ‘seeming, professed’. Or, apparent– guarding the building was his obvious job. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
