In this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. It is inconceivable that the cat devoured the cat.

Analyze the question You are asked to choose the word opposite in meaning to the underlined word, which is inconceivable. The sentence as written ("the cat devoured the cat") appears to have a typo, probably meant to be something like "the cat devoured the rat", but this doesn't change the vocabulary task.

Explain the concept Inconceivable means impossible to imagine or believe; unbelievable. Its opposite is something that can be imagined or believed, which is credible or believable.

Check each option

• A. unimaginable: This is a synonym of inconceivable (it can't be imagined), so it is not the opposite.
• B. contestable: This means open to debate or dispute. It is not the opposite of inconceivable.
• C. incomprehensible: This means impossible to understand. It is close to a synonym, not an opposite.
• D. credible: This means believable and convincing. It is the direct opposite of inconceivable (unbelievable).

Answer The correct option is **D.

Tip In "opposite meaning" questions, first eliminate the synonyms. Here A and C both carry the "cannot be imagined or understood" idea, so they are the traps. Also break the word down: in- (not) + conceive (imagine or believe) + -able. The opposite is "able to be believed", which is credible.
