Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

SUBSEQUENT

consecutive

The correct answer is option 2. consecutive.

The word "subsequent" refers to something that comes after or follows another thing in order or time. It denotes a sequence or a continuation.

Similarly, the synonym "consecutive" also implies a sequence or arrangement in order, with one thing following another without interruption.

So, in essence, both "subsequent" and "consecutive" convey the idea of something happening or occurring afterward in a series or sequence.
