Question and options
Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the word ‘STRINGENT’.
- Tense
- Stringy
- Strict
- Causing to Shrink
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Strict
Stringent means strict, precise and exacting, as in stringent rules, so 'Strict' is the nearest meaning. 'Stringy' only looks similar, and 'tense' and 'causing to shrink' do not carry the sense of strictness.
