Question

Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the word printed in italic bold in the sentence.
The relics of the Roman rule are still extant in England.

• A. hidden
• B. scattered
• C. existent
• D. spread

Answer 1

The correct option is C existent

In this sentence we would be choosing a word alternate to the given word, "Extant"

Extant means still in existence; surviving.

Existence means the fact or state of living or having objective reality.

The above two words are synonymous.

If we look into the other options,

Hidden means kept out of sight; concealed

Scattered means occurring or found at intervals or various locations rather than all together.

Spread means open out (something) so as to extend its surface area, width, or length.

Option C is correct
