Question

A student is writing a review of an article that contains some text on an unrelated topic. Which word would be the most objective way to describe this content? Inappropriate: not suitable or compatible Irrelevant: not significant to the matter at hand Pointless: devoid of meaning or effectiveness Unrelated: not connected

Answer 1

Irrelevant -  not significant to the matter at hand.

The most common word used to describe this particular scenario is option B: "Irrelevant", since the text is not in accordance with the article, it does not help express the idea of the article it is not only unrelated but it is irrelevant, therefore option D is incorrect. Option A and C are incorrect because they only express that the text does not support the idea, not that it is unrelated to the topic.
