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.
