Which of the following words is the closest synonym of the word "special"?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To find the closest synonym (a word with a similar meaning), we look for the word that best matches the definition of special, which means "better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual."
Common, Ordinary, and Usual (Options A, B, and D) are actually antonyms (opposites) of special. They describe things that are normal, frequent, or standard.
Unique (Option C) describes something that is one of a kind or particularly remarkable, making it the closest match to special.
