Which term means 'to deny something or say something isn't true'?

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

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of a verb that means to deny or say something isn’t true. Negate fits because it is the verb used to deny, refute, or nullify a statement or claim. You negate a claim when you show it to be false or contrary to evidence.

The other words don’t capture that specific action. Negative describes something opposed or lacking, or it can refer to a negative aspect or a grammatical polarity, but it’s not the act of denying itself. Mutual means shared or reciprocal between parties, and myriad means countless or very many; neither relates to denying a truth.
