Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Ans:

Indifference means lack of interest, concern, or sympathy.

Nonchalance describes a casual lack of concern or an unconcerned attitude, so 'Indifference' best matches the meaning of nonchalance.

  • Neutrality: being impartial or not taking sides — about stance, not about a lack of feeling or concern.

  • All-knowing: having complete knowledge — related to knowledge, the opposite of the attitude implied by nonchalance.

  • Ignorance: lack of knowledge — refers to not knowing rather than to not caring.

Tip: When choosing synonyms for attitude words, focus on words that describe feelings or levels of concern rather than words about knowledge or impartiality.
