Question

Choose the option which best replaces the given group of words.

Present, appearing, or found everywhere

The correct answer is

ubiquitous

One-word substitution: the phrase “present, appearing, or found everywhere” is the dictionary definition of “ubiquitous” (from the Latin “ubique”, meaning everywhere).

Step 1 — “Ubiquitous” describes something that seems to be everywhere at once, for example “Smartphones have become ubiquitous.” This matches all three parts of the phrase: present, appearing and found everywhere.

Step 2 — “Ephemeral” means lasting for a very short time; it is about duration, not presence everywhere.

Step 3 — “Ineluctable” means unable to be avoided or escaped, as in “an ineluctable fate”; it is about inevitability.

Step 4 — “Omniform” means having every form or shape; it refers to variety of form, not to being found in every place.

ubiquitous option is correct.
