NDA (I) 2021 General Ability Test · Question 2 of 149

Correct — C, evolutionary. 'Dynamic' describes a nature that is energetic and marked by continual change and progress, and of the four choices only 'evolutionary' — characterised by ongoing development and change — carries that sense of movement, so it is the nearest in meaning.

• (a)enduring — 'Enduring' means lasting or unchanging over time — almost the reverse of the constant change implied by 'dynamic'.
• (b)attentive — 'Attentive' means paying close attention or being considerate; it describes carefulness, not energy or change.
• (d)jealous — 'Jealous' means resentfully envious; it is unrelated to the idea of an active, changing nature.

A synonym item where 'dynamic' means energetic and ever-changing; among the options only 'evolutionary' shares that sense of continual development, so it is the nearest fit.
