English Synonyms Synonyms Question #8102 (CAT-I)

The mechanical engineer designed an __________ water filtration device powered entirely by bicycle pedals.

A Ingenious
B Ingenuous
C Inevitable
D Indulge
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The sentence describes a device that is cleverly designed. 'Ingenious' means (of a person) clever, original, and inventive, which accurately describes an innovative design. • 'Ingenuous' (innocent, unsuspecting) does not describe a device. • 'Inevitable' (unavoidable) does not describe a design. • 'Indulge' (to allow oneself pleasure) is a verb and doesn't fit here.
