Select the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word in the following sentence to fill in the blank.
Shravan is known for his compliant nature. He is very ___________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Context: The word compliant means someone who is ready to agree with others, adjust, or follow rules easily. So, we need a synonym with the same meaning.
Meaning of the words:
-
Difficult: Hard to manage, opposite of compliant.
-
Yielding: Ready to agree, flexible, opposite of stubborn.
-
Complaining: Expressing dissatisfaction, not the same as compliant.
-
Adamant: Stubborn, not willing to change mind, opposite of compliant.
Correct word: Yielding
Reason: Since compliant means obedient and agreeable, its synonym is yielding, which also means easily giving in or adjusting.
Final Sentence: Shravan is known for his compliant nature. He is very yielding.
Hence the chosen option is correct.
