Question and options

Directions: Choose the word nearest in meaning to the key word.

CATEGORICAL
  1. unconditional
  2. universal
  3. unjustifiable
  4. professional

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - unconditional
A categorical statement is explicit and absolute, made without any condition or reservation, so “unconditional” is the nearest meaning. “Universal” means applying to all cases, which is a different idea, and “unjustifiable” and “professional” are unrelated.
