Each item consists of a sentence with an underlined word followed by four words/groups of words. Select the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word.
The exemptions granted to State institutions for acquiring informed consent from processing personal data in many cases appear to be too **blanket**
- AObtain
- BLose
- CGivings
- DThinking
Explanation
The keyed answer is (A), and both reputable keys mark it, so it is retained. No honest explanation can derive (A) from these options. However, the options as printed — Obtain, Lose, Givings, Thinking — contain no synonym of "blanket" (used here adjectivally to mean sweeping or all-encompassing, as in a "blanket exemption"), so the item cannot be genuinely solved from the printed options and the option set appears corrupted in transcription: key disputed.
