Which word is synonymous with 'imperative'?

  1. Optional

  2. Urgent

  3. Negligible

  4. Trivial

The correct answer is: Urgent

The term 'imperative' refers to something that is of vital importance or absolutely necessary. It conveys a sense of urgency or a requirement that must be addressed immediately. Therefore, 'urgent' is a fitting synonym as it similarly suggests that something requires immediate attention or action. The need for prompt response or consideration is central to both terms, highlighting that they denote a priority that cannot be overlooked. In contrast, 'optional,' 'negligible,' and 'trivial' all imply a lack of necessity or urgency, which is the opposite of what 'imperative' conveys. Thus, these terms would not appropriately reflect the meaning associated with 'imperative.'
