Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Her _______________ attitude towards her colleagues made her a beloved team member.

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.
