Choose the most appropriate meaning of the underlined word:

This is a typical example of Roman pottery.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The official key treats distinct as the closest available answer, apparently taking typical in the sense of recognisably characteristic of Roman pottery; characteristic or representative would be more precise English.

Difficult: means hard to do or understand, not characteristic.

Rare: means uncommon, whereas a typical example is representative rather than unusual.

Far-fetched: means implausible or strained, which is unrelated to typical.
