Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. pertinent.
The other options are not correct because:
- A. proper: The point being raised may be proper, but it is not pertinent to the subject.
- B. fit: The point being raised may be fit, but it is not pertinent to the subject.
- C. required: The point being raised may be required, but it is not pertinent to the subject.
Pertinent means “having a direct and significant bearing on the matter at hand.” In this case, the point being raised does not have a direct and significant bearing on the subject, so it is not pertinent.
