Question

Identify the correct word from the given options, which means the following:

A commonplace remark.

• A. Platitude
• B. Remark
• C. Statement
• D. Epigram

Answer 1

The correct option is A Platitude

Option A is the correct answer because 'platitude' means a statement that has been repeated so often and commonly that it is meaningless or a cliche.

Option B is incorrect as 'remark' a written or spoken comment.

Option C is incorrect because a 'statement' is a declaration or an expression of views/facts.

Neither 'remark' nor 'statement' is a commonplace remark.

Option D is definitely incorrect because it refers to an inscription on a stone or a brief but witty saying.
