Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Trivial
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Semantic classification tests whether words belong to the same conceptual field. Three refer to magnitude of size; one refers to significance/importance.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Group by semantic domain: size vs importance.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Big → size.Small → size.Tiny → size.Trivial → importance (not size) → outlier.
Verification / Alternative check:
Comparatives/superlatives: big/bigger/biggest etc. map to size; trivial does not form size gradations but importance gradations (trivial vs crucial).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Equating “small” with “trivial” metaphorically; in literal classification, domains must match.
Final Answer:
Trivial
