Which word means 'not admitting of passage'?

Which word means 'not admitting of passage'?

• A. Impervious
• B. Bromide
• C. Conflagration
• D. Desideratum

Answer: (A)

The key idea is a word that describes something that cannot be penetrated or passed through. Impervious fits perfectly because it means not allowing passage or entry, literally or figuratively. A wall can be impervious to water, or a person can be impervious to criticism, meaning nothing gets through. Bromide refers to a dull, trite remark or a chemical compound, not about blocking passage. Conflagration means a large destructive fire. Desideratum is something desired or needed. None of these convey the sense of “not admitting of passage” the way impervious does.
