Question:

Select the option that is similar in meaning to the underlined word.

No plausible explanation could be found  for her disappearance.

Options:

Just

Legal

Credible 

Useless 

Correct Answer:

Credible 

Explanation:
 

The word that is most similar in meaning to the underlined word "plausible" is option 3: credible.

  • Plausible means "seeming likely or probable; believable."
  • Credible means "able to be believed; trustworthy."

Both words suggest that something is likely to be true or accurate.

The other options are not synonyms of "plausible."

  • Just means "fair or right."
  • Legal means "conforming to the law."
  • Useless means "having no value or purpose."
