Which adjective describes something that is clear or self-evident?

  1. Obvious

  2. Petrified

  3. Perilous

  4. Prestigious

The correct answer is: Obvious

The adjective "obvious" accurately describes something that is clear or self-evident. When something is referred to as obvious, it means that it is easily understood or recognized without the need for further explanation or clarification. This quality of clarity suggests that the information or condition is straightforward and apparent to anyone observing or considering it, making it readily accessible to comprehension. In contrast, "petrified" refers to being so frightened that one is unable to move or is turned to stone, which does not convey clarity or straightforwardness. "Perilous" describes a situation that is dangerous or risky, and while it may be clear that danger exists, this does not pertain to being self-evident. Lastly, "prestigious" is related to having high status or respect and does not imply clarity or plainness. Thus, its meaning is distinct and does not align with the concept being addressed in the question.
