Example Question #2251 : Ssat Middle Level Verbal
A synonym of “derivative” is __________.
scathing
unique
universal
exhausted
unoriginal
unoriginal
“Derivative” is an adjective that can mean “imitative of the work of another person, and usually disapproved of for that reason” and is usually used of an artist or work of art when used in this way. So, we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “imitative.” That means that “unique” cannot be the correct answer, because “unique” is an adjective that means “being the only one of its kind; unlike anything,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “derivative.” “Unoriginal,” however, is an adjective that means “lacking originality; derivative,” and because “unoriginal” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “derivative,” “unoriginal” is the correct answer.
