Question:

Fill in the blank with the correct option:-

The film star was immediately spotted and recognized; thanks to her _____ red hair.

Options:

obvious

apparent

evident

conspicuous

Correct Answer:

conspicuous

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → conspicuous

  • Conspicuous means standing out so as to be clearly visible or attracting attention (often in a way that implies a bold or unusual appearance). This fits the context of a film star's hair being the reason for immediate spotting and recognition.

  • Obvious, apparent, and evident all mean clearly seen or understood, but they typically describe a fact or quality that is universally recognized without effort. Conspicuous specifically carries the connotation of being intentionally noticeable or highly visible within a crowd, which is more appropriate for describing a distinctive feature like bright red hair on a celebrity.
