Which meaning best describes 'final'?

• A. Ultimate
• B. Coming at the end
• C. First
• D. Last; concluding.

Answer: (D)

Final is used to indicate the end point in a sequence or the concluding part of something. In everyday use, a final chapter or a final exam is the last part you encounter, not the beginning. That sense fits best because it points to finishing and a definitive end. The sense of first is clearly opposite, and coming at the end describes something that happens near the end rather than being the end itself. Ultimate can overlap, but it often carries a broader sense of the utmost outcome, which makes it less precise for a specific end item. So the most accurate description is last or concluding.
