Question 90

The following question has a paragraph with one italicized word that does not make sense. Choose the most appropriate replacement for that word from the options given below the paragraph.

Or there is the most $$fingummy$$ diplomatic note on record: when Philip of Macedon wrote to the Spartans that, if he came within their borders, he would leave not one stone of their city, they wrote back the one word - “If”.

Solution

Since the answer to the letter is just a single letter "if", it means the reply is terse. "Terse" means "to use less words to convey your idea."
