Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined:Tom's aberrant behaviour attracted attention.
Answer Details
The word "aberrant" in the given sentence means that Tom's behavior was unusual, deviating from what is considered normal or acceptable. The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word is "abnormal." It means that Tom's behavior was not normal or typical, which is consistent with the context of the sentence. The other options do not accurately convey the same meaning as they refer to different aspects of Tom's behavior, such as being rascally, selfish, or heady, which may not necessarily imply that his behavior was abnormal or unusual.
