Translation should be :

  • A.literal
  • B.ambiguous
  • C.variant
  • D.approximate

Answer: D

The keyed answer is approximate.

The passage asks for the transfer of content in a manner acceptable to the genius of the target language, aiming at conceptual equivalents, and it treats identity of form and process as an extreme position. That describes an approximation of the source, not a mirror copy.

'Ambiguous' (B) and 'variant' (C) are ruled out because the passage says ambiguity, interference and variation in meaning must all be avoided. 'Literal' (A) is the identity-of-form view the passage calls extreme. The passage never uses the word 'approximate' itself, so the key is reached largely by elimination.
