In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined:The lawyer told the court some unsavoury details about the case
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "unsavoury" is "unpleasant." The sentence talks about a lawyer telling the court some unsavoury details about the case, which means that the information presented was distasteful, unpleasant, and morally offensive. Therefore, "unpleasant" is the best option that conveys the same meaning as "unsavoury." The other options are not relevant to the context of the sentence or do not convey the same meaning as "unsavoury."
