The verified lexical pair is Accurate and Precise.

Correct Answer: PreciseYour Answer: C

Explanation

The word Accurate and the word Precise share the same central sense in the context tested by the question, although usage, tone and grammatical form should still be checked before substituting one for the other. A synonym is not required to be identical in every possible sentence; it must preserve the intended meaning in the relevant context. Here, replacing Accurate with Precise keeps the core idea intact without reversing the tone or changing the action, quality or state expressed by the target word. The alternatives Aromatic, Mistake and Scorn do not express the same central meaning as Accurate. This distinction matters because competitive examinations often place one accurate synonym beside three familiar but contextually unsuitable words. If the sentence retains its essential meaning and grammatical structure, the synonym relationship is supported. Learners should revise Accurate together with Precise, a brief usage cue and the contrasting distractors. This method develops contextual vocabulary, precise option elimination and dependable recall for SSC, Banking, Railway, Defence and other competitive examinations.
