Answer 1

Hint: A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.

Complete answer:
Here in this particular question ‘simple problem’ is given so we have to find the word that is opposite in meaning of ‘simple problem’. So, here we will use antonyms and antonyms are the words that give or that are opposite in meaning. The meaning of a simple problem is easily getting a solution for the problem.
Option A) Task – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of task is ‘a piece of work to be done or undertaken or duty or job or labour’ and this is not the opposite of the word ‘simple problem’ and this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Job - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of job is ‘a piece of work to be done or undertaken or duty or labour’ and this is not the opposite of the word ‘simple problem’ and this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Issue – is the correct answer because the meaning of issue is ‘an important topic or problem for debate or discussion or matter or business’ and this is the opposite of the word ‘simple problem’ and this is the correct answer.
Option D) None of these – is an incorrect answer because this is an invalid or void option as correct option lies in option C.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: Issue is the most appropriate noun that is used in the blank because issue is the opposite of the word ‘simple problem’. So, here the sentence, 'He has made a major issue of that simple problem', means: 'He has created a major problem out of a simple problem'. Hence, option C is the correct answer and rest options are incorrect.
