Question

Select suitable option to complete the sentence:Success gives really _________ pleasure.

• A. mordant
• B. morbid
• C. monotonous
• D. momentous

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

momentous

Option D: 'Momentous' means 'of great importance or significance'. It relates to the given sentence: the pleasure achieved from success is of great importance.

The sentence formed is meaningful and hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Mordant' means 'having or showing a sharp or critical quality', 'biting'. This word expresses a quality (of a human) in a negative way. It cannot describe 'success'.

Option B: 'Morbid' means 'having an unhealthy interest in the horrors of life, like death and disease'.

Option C: 'Monotonous' means 'dull, tedious and repetitive'.

These words do not form a complete meaning here.

Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
