English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: NEBULOUS


Options:

  1. Vague
  2. Precise
  3. Obvious
  4. Clear

Right Answer: Vague

The word 'nebulous' comes from the Latin word 'nebula', meaning mist or cloud. It describes something hazy, unclear or lacking definite form and outline, and it is often used for ideas, plans or explanations that have not been clearly worked out. For example, we may speak of a nebulous proposal that nobody fully understands. Among the given options, 'vague' carries exactly this sense of being indistinct and imprecise. The remaining three words, precise, obvious and clear, all suggest sharpness and clarity, so they are antonyms rather than synonyms. Hence the correct answer is 'Vague'.
