Which term means to deny something or say it's not true?

• A. Negate
• B. Negative
• C. Mutual
• D. Myriad

Answer: (A)

Negate is the word that means to deny something or say it’s not true. It’s a verb that specifically conveys denying the truth of a statement or canceling its effect. In logic, negation flips a proposition’s truth value, turning true into false and vice versa. That precision makes it the best fit here.

The other terms don’t capture that act of denying. Negative describes something opposite in tone or value or a minus sign; mutual means shared by two or more parties; myriad means a very large or numerous amount.
