Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct matching: Absurd → Clearly impossible; Ambiguous → Capable of more than one interpretation; Axiom → Assertion accepted without proof; Conjecture → An opinion or hypothesis.
Absurd: Clearly impossible, being contrary to an evident truth.
Ambiguous: Capable of more than one interpretation or meaning.
Axiom: An assertion accepted and used without proof.
Conjecture: An opinion or hypothesis, often based on limited evidence or experience.
Thus the correct mapping is: Absurd → the statement meaning clearly impossible; Ambiguous → the statement meaning multiple interpretations; Axiom → the accepted assertion without proof; Conjecture → the opinion or hypothesis.
