Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B) and (E) Only
Utility refers to the usefulness or practicality of something.
- Usefulness directly reflects the ability to be used for a purpose.
- Efficacy leans more towards effectiveness in producing a desired result. While related to utility, it's not a perfect synonym in all contexts.
- Benefit implies a positive outcome or advantage gained from something. It's connected to utility but focuses more on the positive impact.
- Uselessness is the opposite of utility.
- Worth suggests value or importance, which aligns with utility but doesn't directly address its practical function.
Therefore, only options (A), (B), and (E) contain synonyms of "utility."
