Example Question #1271 : Synonyms: Adjectives And Adverbs
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
SACROSANCT
Possible Answers:
Sacred
Apocryphal
Elective
Liturgical
Jejune
Correct answer:
Sacred
Explanation:
"Sacrosanct" means "sacred," holy, and inviolable. While "sacrosanct" is often (but not always) used in a religious context, it is not a synonym for "liturgical," which describes church rituals or rites. "Apocryphal" means false, and "jejune" means dull or insipid. "Elective" means chosen and not mandated, as in elective surgery or an elective college class.
