Choose the word nearest in meaning to OBSOLETE: That technology is obsolete.

**The reasoning** When something is **obsolete**, it means it's no longer in use or no longer useful because something better has replaced it. Think of VHS tapes, floppy disks, or old Nokia 3310 phones—they were once useful but are now **outdated** because we have DVDs, USB drives, and smartphones. The sentence "That technology is obsolete" tells us the technology is old-fashioned and replaced by newer alternatives. **Outdated** captures this exact meaning—something that belongs to the past and is no longer current. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Modern** is actually the *opposite* of obsolete (newest vs. oldest) - **Useful** might confuse you because obsolete things *were once* useful—but now they're not - **Fast** has nothing to do with age or relevance; it's about speed **Quick takeaway** Think: "Obsolete = Out-of-date" — both start with 'O', both mean something old that's been replaced by something better. When you see *obsolete* in JAMB/WAEC, immediately think *outdated*.
