Grammar

appropriate = correct or important?

Paragraph: Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as _"appropriate"_ formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.

The word "appropriate" is closest in meaning to:
A. old B.correct C. important D. large
Thanks in advance.

Don't say that. The answer is 'important' but I think it's 'correct'. I need your opinion.

Whoever told you the answer was "important" was wrong. "Correct" is correct.
