Question

Select the option that is most similar in meaning to the given word.

SALIENT

• A. Most important
• B. Salt-like taste
• C. Pleasing
• D. Satisfactory

Answer 1

The correct option is A Most important

'Salient' means most important qualities about something. E.g. She began to summarize the salient features of the proposal. Thus, option A is the most similar meaning to the word. Rest of the options are wrong. The salt-like taste would be salty. 'Pleasing' means charming. 'Satisfactory' means good enough for a particular need.
