Correct answer: D

Concept

Synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning in a given context.

To choose the nearest synonym, identify the core sense of the target word and compare it with each offered word, noting contrasts such as frequency, quantity, uniqueness, and extent of presence.

Application

Ubiquitous describes something that seems to be present or found everywhere. Omnipresent carries the same central idea of being present everywhere, so it is the nearest match.

Contrast and cross-check

  • Rare means seldom encountered; it concerns low frequency.

  • Scarce means insufficiently available; it concerns limited quantity.

  • Unique means being the only one of its kind; it concerns singularity.

Therefore, the nearest synonym is Omnipresent.
