In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The testimony of the witness was so vague that it was difficult to learn the...........details of the case
Answer Details
The underlined word "vague" suggests that the details of the case were unclear or imprecise. Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "vague" and that can correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "specific". "Specific" means clearly defined or precise, which is the opposite of "vague". The sentence would then read: "The testimony of the witness was so vague that it was difficult to learn the specific details of the case."
