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 adjective 'nebulous' comes from the Latin 'nebula', meaning mist or cloud, and originally described something cloudy in appearance. In modern usage it describes an idea, plan or statement that is hazy, ill-defined and lacking clear outline, as in a nebulous proposal that nobody can act upon. Among the given options, 'vague' expresses exactly this lack of definiteness and is therefore the correct synonym. The remaining three choices all move in the opposite direction: 'precise', 'obvious' and 'clear' each describe something sharply defined or easily understood. Hence the correct answer is Vague.
