Choose the word that is most nearly **similar** in meaning to **EPHEMERAL**.
Correct: B
'Ephemeral' means lasting for a very short time. 'Transient' means lasting only for a short time; impermanent. Therefore, 'transient' is the closest synonym. 'Permanent' and 'eternal' are antonyms, meaning lasting forever. 'Ubiquitous' means present, appearing, or found everywhere.
