In this questions, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence. The solution lies in choosing between various negative alternatives.

  1. The solution can be found in one of the negative options ✓
  2. The solution lies in choosing between the positive and the negative
  3. The solutions are many
  4. The solution is a negative one
Explanation

“Choosing between various negative alternatives” means every choice on offer is a bad one. The answer must therefore be found among those bad choices.

The solution can be found in one of the negative options says exactly that.

“The solution lies in choosing between the positive and the negative” is wrong because the sentence mentions no positive alternatives at all.
