SACROSANCT
Possible Answers:
Sacred
Jejune
Apocryphal
Liturgical
Elective
Correct answer:
Sacred
Explanation:
"Sacrosanct" means "sacred," holy, and inviolable. While "sacrosanct" is often (but not always) used in a religious context, it is not a synonym for "liturgical," which describes church rituals or rites. "Apocryphal" means false, and "jejune" means dull or insipid. "Elective" means chosen and not mandated, as in elective surgery or an elective college class.
