Question

what is the meaning of the word immaterial as used in the passage?
\your honor, i object,\ the attorney cried out. \whether ms. pittman failed to pay her taxes is immaterial to the issue of whether or not she committed a parking violation. therefore, her tax records are unimportant in this case.\
possessing great value
difficult to understand
not definitely known
of no consequence

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "immaterial", we analyze the context. The attorney says tax records are unimportant to the parking violation issue. "Of no consequence" means something has no importance or relevance, matching the context (since tax payment's relevance to parking violation is being discussed as unimportant). "Possessing great value" is opposite, "difficult to understand" and "not definitely known" don't relate to importance/relevance.

Answer:

of no consequence
