Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

We should not underestimate the signification of female education.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. underestimate the significance. 

Underestimate is a verb and it requires a noun to follow it. 

Significance is a noun that refers to the importance, meaning, or value of something.

It is the correct noun to use in this context because the verb "underestimate" needs to describe the importance/gravity of something.
