Question:

Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank:-

An imaginary place where everything is perfect is called a _____ world.

Options:

dystopian

utopian

illusory

desultory

Correct Answer:

utopian

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → utopian

  • Utopian refers to an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. It is derived from the word Utopia, coined by Sir Thomas More for his book describing an ideal, perfect political state.

  • Dystopian refers to an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice. This is the opposite of the intended meaning.

  • Illusory means based on illusion; not real. While a perfect world is not real, utopian is the specific term for the concept of a perfect world.

  • Desultory means lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm; jumping from one thing to another. (Irrelevant to the concept of perfection.)
