A) Only
B) Solely
C) Distinctive
D) Unbalanced
E) Uniform

Answer 1

Hint:Synonym: are words that are similar meanings. Synonyms are used when you do not want to repeat the same word again and again.

Complete answer:

We have to find the meaning of uniqueness and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
Option A) Only – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of only is ‘solely’ and this is not the synonym of unique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘only’ and ‘unique’ does not match.
Option B) Solely - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of solely is ‘only’ (thus solely and only are synonyms of each other i.e. they have the same meaning) this cannot be a synonym of unique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘solely’ and ‘unique’ does not match.
Option C) Distinctive – is the correct answer because the meaning of distinctive is ‘different’ and this is a synonym of unique because they both have the same meaning and they can be replaced with others. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Unbalanced - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of unbalanced is ‘not balanced’ and this is not a synonym of uniqueness. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘unbalanced’ and ‘unique’ does not match.
Option E) Uniform – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of uniform is ‘not changing in the form’ this is not a synonym of unique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘uniform’ and ‘unique’ does not match.
