Imperative
Hello,
This test question asks people to choose one word which fits the semantics.
What I got is just one sentence.
----------------
My doctor thinks it is ____ that I have a yearly physical examination.
(A) sordid
(B) malignant
(C) imperative
(D) chronic
-----------------
The given answer is (A). Somehow I feel it odd...
IMHO, (C) works better than (A)...
My doctor thinks that it is imperative that I (should) have a yearly physical examination.
imperative means extremely important, right?
So...am I right?

This is very strange indeed. Your sentence, with (C), has been a stock expression for years.
Perhaps your doctor is just getting tired and wants to take it easy.
They have completed a few studies lately suggesting that certain specific tests are being administered too often, or that it serves no purpose to perform them with the traditional frequency. But the "annual physical"

The answer key is in error. Sadly, that seems more common than should be the case.
