This decision is crucial for me.
- (a)momentous
- (b)natural
- (c)primitive
- (d)inept
Answer
A
Why
Correct — A, momentous. This is a synonym item for 'crucial'. 'Crucial' means decisively important, and 'momentous' means of great importance or consequence, so it is the nearest in meaning.
Why the others are wrong
- (b)natural — 'Natural' means normal or occurring in nature; it says nothing about importance.
- (c)primitive — 'Primitive' means early, basic or undeveloped — unrelated to how important a decision is.
- (d)inept — 'Inept' means clumsy or incompetent, which does not describe importance at all.
Concept
This is a synonym item — 'crucial' means decisively important; 'momentous' (of great consequence) is the nearest match.
