Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Dr. S Radhakrishnan has written an erudite commentary on the Bhagwad Gita.

• A. scholarly
• B. inspiring
• C. effective
• D. perfect

Answer 1

The correct option is A scholarly

Option A: 'Erudite' means 'having or showing great knowledge or learning'.

'Scholarly' means 'having or showing knowledge or learning'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option A is correct.

Option B: 'Inspiring' means 'encouraging, or making you feel you want to do something'.

Option C: 'Effective' means 'successful in producing a desired or intended result'.

Option D: 'Perfect' means 'completely free from faults or defects'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'erudite'.

So, options B, C and D are wrong.
