The Minister's concern for the homeless was superficial and ended as soon as the media left the event.

  • A.Shallow
  • B.Derogatory
  • C.Regardless
  • D.Insubstantial

Answer: A

The word nearest in meaning to superficial is Shallow.

A superficial concern exists only on the surface and lacks depth or sincerity, which is exactly what shallow means when used of feelings. The sentence confirms it: the concern vanished as soon as the cameras left.

Insubstantial means lacking solidity or real substance and is usually said of things, evidence or arguments, so it is a weaker fit for a feeling. Derogatory means disparaging, and regardless means without paying attention; neither is related.
