Example Question #51 : Synonyms: Adjectives Describing Authenticity, Understanding, And Importance

Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.

SUBJECTIVE

Possible Answers:

Unthinking

Personal

Awareness

Contemplative

Surprising

Correct answer:

Personal

Explanation:

Normally, we contrast the words "subjective" and "objective." "Objective" facts are the bare facts—ones that are not shaped by the bias of the person who knows them. Thus, someone could say, "I need to know the objective story about what happened." This means, "You need to tell me just what happened. Don't give me your personal view." The "personal view" is a kind of synonym for what is meant by "subjective." Hence, among the options, "personal" is a good synonym for "subjective."
