Question

q: choose the word that fits best
a. outstanding b. expected
c. obvious d. instant
e. im not sure
allotted time

Explanation:

The left - side word - map has words like "prominent", "salient", "spectacular", "striking", "conspicuous" and also "unpaid", "undischarged" (related to financial "outstanding" meaning) and "great", "important" (related to "outstanding" in quality). "Outstanding" can mean remarkable (like the quality - related synonyms) or unpaid (financial sense), fitting the word - map's semantic connections. "Expected" doesn't match the synonyms, "obvious" is a weaker match, and "instant" is unrelated.

Answer:

a. outstanding
