Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank. Choose the most appropriate word from the options to fill in the blank and make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct.
The urban reforestation project is a _______________ initiative aimed at reducing city heat island effects.
Correct Answer :
groundbreaking
Solution :
The correct answer is groundbreaking.
Explanation:
The sentence requires an adjective to describe an "initiative aimed at reducing city heat island effects." The context implies a positive, innovative, and impactful project.
Let's evaluate the given options:
1. Groundbreaking: Means innovative, pioneering, or introducing novel methods. An urban reforestation project designed to tackle city heat island effects represents a forward-thinking, pioneering initiative, making this word contextually and grammatically appropriate.
2. Fragile: Means easily broken or delicate. This does not fit the context of describing a major environmental initiative.
3. Brittle: Means hard but liable to break easily. Contextually irrelevant.
4. Obsolete: Means out of date or no longer in use. A new or ongoing initiative cannot be described as obsolete.
5. Stagnant: Means showing no activity, progress, or development. This contradicts the active and constructive nature of the project.
Thus, groundbreaking is the most suitable word to fill in the blank.
