Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. cordial.
Context: The sentence is about a person’s attitude that made her beloved by team members. This means the word should express friendly and warm behaviour.
Meaning of the words:
-
Indifferent – not caring, neutral (negative, not suitable).
-
Cordial – warm, polite, and friendly (fits perfectly).
-
Apathetic – lacking interest or concern (negative, not correct).
-
Belligerent – aggressive, hostile (opposite meaning).
Correct word: The correct word is cordial, because only a cordial (friendly, warm) attitude can make someone beloved by colleagues.
Reason: Logically, “Her cordial attitude towards her colleagues” shows why she was loved in the team. Other options are negative and don’t match.
Final Sentence: Her cordial attitude towards her colleagues made her a beloved team member.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
