Which word best matches the meaning of 'dramatic' in the sense of something that is highly sensational or striking?

• A. Pronounced
• B. Sensational
• C. Extreme
• D. Extremely sudden

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is choosing a word that captures the sense of something being highly sensational or striking. In this sense, dramatic points to something that grabs attention with intensity, so the best match is sensational because it directly conveys vivid, shocking, and highly noticeable impact. Pronounced can mean clearly noticeable but doesn’t carry the same strong emotional connotation. Extreme describes degree without necessarily implying sensationalism. Extremely sudden emphasizes abruptness, not the overall striking or sensational quality. So the term that best fits the idea of being highly sensational or striking is sensational.
