choose the option nearly opposite in meaning to the word(s) underlined

James found the photocopied material invaluable while preparing for the examination

Valuable
worthwhile
worthless
important

Explanation

The word "invaluable" in the context of the sentence means extremely useful or of great value. The opposite of "invaluable" is something without value or usefulness. Therefore, "worthless" (option C) is the choice that is nearly opposite in meaning to "invaluable." If something is "worthless," it has little or no value.
