Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Can you ______ between these two shades of green?

Options:

detect

divert

distract

distinguish

Correct Answer:

distinguish

Explanation:

Can you distinguish between these two shades of green?

Explanation:

  • Detect: "Detect" means to perceive or identify something that is not easily noticeable. However, in this context, the person is being asked to differentiate between two shades of green, which requires more than just perception.

  • Divert: "Divert" means to redirect or turn something aside from its course. It doesn't fit the context of distinguishing between shades of color.

  • Distract: "Distract" means to divert someone's attention from something. This word is not appropriate for asking about differentiating between shades of color.

  • Distinguish: This is the correct word choice. "Distinguish" means to recognize or identify the differences between two or more things. In this context, it's used to ask if the person can perceive and identify the differences between the two shades of green.
