Example Question #2164 : Identifying Synonyms
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
GLIB
Flippant
Fortified
Weak
Silly
Unsure
Flippant
"Glib" means speaking a lot but in an insincere and flippant way, so "flippant," meaning facetious and rude, is the correct answer.
Example Question #2165 : Identifying Synonyms
SPURIOUS
False
Dissected
Underwhelmed
Fixated
Enraged
False
"Spurious" means counterfeit or untrue. (Example: "The paper was full of spurious claims, and Francis wasn't surprised that the argument's evidence was lacking, as evidence would have contradicted its claims.") Therefore, "false" is the best synonym.
Example Question #26 : Synonyms: Adjectives Describing Authenticity, Understanding, And Importance
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
IRREFUTABLE
Implausible
Deniable
Rebuttable
Undeniable
Plausible
Undeniable
"Irrefutable" is an adjective meaning "impossible to deny or disprove." While "undeniable" and "implausible" may each look like a potentially correct answer because like "irrefutable," "undeniable" and" implausible" each begin with a negative prefix; however, "implausible" means "not seeming reasonable or probable; failing to convince," so it is actually an antonym of "irrefutable," and not the correct answer. "Undeniable," however, means "unable to be denied or disputed." Since "undeniable" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "irrefutable," so "undeniable" is the correct answer.
