Question

Leonardo da Vinci was a many-sided talented person whose genius can __________ be matched in the history of the world.

• A. Never
• B. Often
• C. Rarely
• D. Always

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Rarely

Option C is the correct answer because rare means something that doesn't happen that often, but still does happen. It does not negate the chance of something happening altogether.

Option A is incorrect as never means, at no time in the past or in the future. This kind of prediction can never be made because we don't know what the future holds.

Option B is incorrect because often means frequently, and it is a fact that we don't find geniuses like Da Vinci that frequently.

Option D is incorrect as always means at all times, on all occasions and this is factually incorrect and is not supported by the passage.
