Hi all,
I am really in two minds about this particular sentence:
"There are no significant differences between the two issues"
Which word (and only one word) has the closest meaning with significant in this sentence?
A. meaningful B. important C. big
OALD's definition: large and important enough to have an effect or to be noticed.
The cause for my confusion lies in the word big since it also means important and large (figuratively or literally, such as big decision, big question...). Furthermore, is it me or does anyone else think meaningful is also worth considering in this particular sentence?
