Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

No longer used because something new has been invented

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Obsolete.

"Obsolete" is the correct one-word substitute for the given group of words.

It refers to something that is no longer in use because it has been replaced by something newer or more advanced. 

The other options do not fit the description as precisely:

Classic: Refers to something of high quality and lasting value, not necessarily outdated.

Ancient: This means very old, but not necessarily no longer in use.

Ornamental: Refers to something used for decoration.

Thus, obsolete accurately conveys the essence of - no longer used because something new has been invented.
