Provided is a composition which has a liquid phase over a wide temperature range, a low viscosity, an excellent solubility at low temperature, high specific resistance, high voltage retention rate, and stability against heat or light, and further a liquid crystal display element of, for example, such as an IPS type or a TN type, which has excellent display qualities by using the composition, and in which display defects such as burn-in or drip marks are hardly caused, at a high yield. Provided is a composition including one or more compounds represented by General Formula (i), one or more compounds represented by General Formula (M-1), and one or more compounds represented by General Formula (M-4), and a liquid crystal display element using the composition.
