The best description of the following terms is:
Magenta : Sea green : Turquoise
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → They are colours
The right description must fit all three words, so each word is checked in turn.
Magenta — a purplish-red colour, one of the three primary colours of printing ink (with cyan and yellow)
Sea green — a bluish-green colour, like sea water
Turquoise — a greenish-blue colour, named after the stone of that colour
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) They are marine creatures — Incorrect. None of the three is an animal; ‘sea green’ only names a colour after the sea.
Option (2) They are migratory birds — Incorrect. None of the three is a bird; they are names of shades.
Option (3) They are precious and semi-precious stones — Incorrect. Turquoise is a semi-precious stone, but magenta and sea green are not stones.
