Choose the correct synonym for the word: Obsequious

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1,3

NTA Error where 2 options are correct


Obsequious -> Obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

✅ Option 1 -> Submissive means willing to yield or obey.

Option 2 -> Indifferent means showing no interest or concern -> opposite to being obsequious.

✅ Option 3 -> Servile means excessively submissive or eager to please in a degrading way.

Option 4 -> Deferential means respectfully yielding to others' opinions, which is more positive and polite than obsequious.


Hence, Option 1 & 3: -> Both "obsequious" and "servile" describe excessive, often insincere submission that shows lack of self-respect, making them the closest synonyms with matching negative connotations.
