Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The indiscriminate demand for mass consumption goods is deplorable.

• A. discrete
• B. undifferentiated
• C. cavalier
• D. insensitive

Answer 1

The correct option is C cavalier

Option C: 'Indiscriminate' means 'done at random or without careful judgement'.

'Cavalier' means 'not serious or caring about matters that other people are serious about'.

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

Option A: 'Discrete' means 'individually separate and distinct'.

Option B: 'Undifferentiated' means 'not distinct and differentiated'.

Option D: 'Insensitive' means 'showing or feeling no concern for other people's feelings'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
