Select the word from the given options that is the most similar in meaning to the underlined word in the following sentence:

Deputy Inspector General made a perfunctory inspection of the police station.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2,3

'Perfunctory' means done with little care, interest, or effort, often merely as a routine or formality.

'Superficial' can convey the sense of something done without proper depth or care, while 'done as a routine but without interest' directly captures the usual meaning of 'perfunctory'.

Therefore, both Options 2 and 3 are correct.
