Question

In each question, a word is given and, with respect to that, three sentences are given using that word. Choose the sentence(s) that has/have the correct usage of the word. Ingenious (i) Over the previous two days he had been feeling increasingly tired, ingenious, polyureic, and thirsty. (ii) Although you are a fast runner, it is ingenious to think you can catch that car on foot. (iii) It's quite an ingenious method considering the time and the era in which he grew up.

Accepted Answer

Only (iii). "Ingenious" means clever, original, or inventive. Sentence (iii) uses it correctly for a method. In (i) the intended word is likely "anxious" or another medical term, and in (ii) the meaning should be "impossible" or "foolish," not "ingenious."
