Sacred cow

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Unquestionable

Unquestionable is a suitable option.

  • "Sacred cow" describes anything that is regarded in such respect that it is immune to criticism or inquiry.
  • The word comes from the respect that certain cultures have for cows, who are regarded as sacred and shouldn't be hurt or asked questions about.
  • The term "unquestionable" accurately expresses the idea that something is above criticism or reproach, much to how a "sacred cow" is handled.
