NDA (II) 2024 General Ability Test · Question 2 of 141

Correct — C, precise. 'Vague' means unclear, imprecise or ill-defined, so its opposite is 'precise' — exact and clearly stated. 'Obscure' and 'imperceptible' both point the same way as 'vague' (hard to see or understand), and 'identical' (exactly alike) has nothing to do with clarity.

• (a)identical — 'Identical' means exactly the same as something else; it is unrelated to clarity of expression.
• (b)obscure — 'Obscure' means unclear or hard to understand — a synonym of vague, not its opposite.
• (d)imperceptible — 'Imperceptible' means too slight to be noticed; like 'vague' it points toward the indistinct, so it cannot be the antonym.

Antonym item: 'vague' (unclear, imprecise) against its direct opposite 'precise' (exact, clearly defined); the distractors mostly reinforce vagueness.
