Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. The old man shared his __________ wisdom with the young generation.

• A. trivial
• B. sagacious
• C. ephemeral
• D. frivolous

Answer 1

Answer:

B. sagacious

The sentence describes an old man sharing his wisdom with a younger generation. In this context, we need an adjective that describes high-quality, deep, or meaningful wisdom. Sagacious (Correct): This means having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment; wise. It is the perfect fit for someone sharing life lessons or profound knowledge. Trivial: This means of little value or importance. It would be contradictory to "wisdom." Ephemeral: This means lasting for a very short time. Wisdom is generally considered lasting and enduring, not fleeting. Frivolous: This means not having any serious purpose or value; carefree and superficial. Completed Sentence: "The old man shared his sagacious wisdom with the young generation."
