Single correct option
Choose the word closest in meaning to the word 'EPHEMERAL'.
- A. Eternal
- B. Fragile
- C. Shallow
- D. Fleeting
Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) Fleeting
Ephemeral describes something that lasts only a very short time. 'Fleeting' means the same. 'Eternal' is the opposite. 'Fragile' (easily broken) is a tempting but different idea, since something fragile may still last long. Think of the word in a sentence first, and then pick the option that could replace it without changing the meaning; watch out for the antonym placed among the options.
