Important examples of relevant in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, relevant often refers to information or details that are connected to the topic.

▪Please provide relevant details.
▪Please give related details.

Example of a confusing word: irrelevant (not connected)

▪Please provide irrelevant details.
▪Please give unrelated details.
"Relevant" means "closely connected or appropriate to the matter at hand." In the sentence "Please provide relevant details," it correctly asks for information that is pertinent to the topic. "Irrelevant," on the other hand, means "not related" or "unconnected," and using it in this context would be contradictory and incorrect, as it would ask for details that do not pertain to the topic. Therefore, "relevant" is the correct choice here.
