Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Whatever opinion he gives is sane.

• A. arrogant
• B. wild
• C. obscure
• D. rational

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

rational

Option D: 'Sane' means 'of sound mind, reasonable or sensible'.

'Rational' means 'based on reason or logic, sensible'.

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

Option A: 'Arrogant' means 'unpleasantly proud, behaving as if you know more than others do'.

Option B: 'Wild' means 'uncontrolled, violent or extreme'.

Option C: 'Obscure' means 'not discovered or known'.

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

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
