Match the words given in List-I with their meanings given in List-II:
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (Words) | (Meanings) |
| --- | --- |
| (A) Divergent | (I) used to describe differences when one might be deceived by similarities |
| (B) Discrete | (II) often used for contrasting opinions or ideas |
| (C) Diverse | (III) used of different types of something |
| (D) Distinct | (IV) different and separate, not overlapping |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) Divergent - (II) → "Divergent" refers to opinions, views, or paths that move away from each other or differ; commonly used for contrasting opinions or ideas (e.g., "divergent viewpoints").
(B) Discrete - (IV) → "Discrete" means individually separate and distinct, not continuous or overlapping (e.g., "discrete categories").
(C) Diverse - (III) → "Diverse" indicates variety and is used to describe different types of something within a group (e.g., "diverse population").
(D) Distinct - (I) → "Distinct" means clearly different and recognizable as separate, often emphasizing differences that might otherwise be confused due to superficial similarities (e.g., "two distinct concepts").
Hence, Option 2: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I) → This matching correctly pairs each word with its precise contextual meaning, distinguishing between these commonly confused terms → correct
