Question

The detective's keen observation helped him solve the case.

Choose the synonym of the word KEEN.

Options

• (A) Dull
• (B) Eager
• (C) Sharp
• (D) Vague

Answer

(C) Sharp

Solution

1. Keen has more than one meaning, so use the sentence to decide.
2. Here it describes observation that notices small details, which means sharp.
3. Eager is another meaning of keen, as in keen to learn, but it does not fit observation.
4. Dull and vague are opposites of the meaning in this context.
