NDA (II) 2024 General Ability Test · Question 49 of 141

Correct — A, huge. 'Mammoth' — after the extinct giant elephant — is used figuratively to mean enormous in size or scale, so a 'mammoth task' is a 'huge' task. 'Quick' refers to speed, 'easy' is the opposite of a demanding task, and 'intelligent' describes cleverness; none captures great size.

• (b)quick — 'Quick' describes speed, not size; a mammoth task is about magnitude, not how fast it is done.
• (c)easy — 'Easy' is effectively the opposite — a mammoth task is large and demanding, not simple.
• (d)intelligent — 'Intelligent' means clever; it does not describe the size or scale of a task.
