Choose a word that best replaces the underlined expression in the following sentence:

Most students find it difficult to work with Rivaan as he is too fastidious about minor details or rules.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Being excessively concerned with small details and rules is pedantry, so pedantic replaces the phrase. A peddler is a seller of goods, preposterous means absurd, and a precinct is an area or district, none of which describes a person's temperament here.
