Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
This is a ________ translation of the speech.

• A. literary
• B. literal
• C. verbal
• D. verbatim

Answer 1

The correct option is B literal

Option B is the correct answer because "literal " means representing the exact words of the original text,hence it is correct because in the statement, the translation of the speech has been made in the exact same words

Option A is incorrect because "literary" means associated with official writing works of literature, which is incorrect here because translation is being told about.

Option C is incorrect because "verbal" means relating to or in the form of words, which is incorrect because the translation is being made, but whether the translation is verbal or written hasn't been mentioned.

Option D is incorrect because "verbatim" means the exact same words have been used, which is incorrect because then it would not be a translated text.
