Question

Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the word printed in italic bold in the sentence.
His impertinence and his salacious remarks spoke volubly of his degradation.

• A. rude
• B. indecent
• C. distraught
• D. poor

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

indecent

In this sentence we would be choosing a word alternate to the given word, "salacious"

Salacious means having or conveying undue or inappropriate interest in sexual matters

Indecent means not conforming with generally accepted standards of behaviour, especially in relation to sexual matters.

The above two words are synonymous

If we look into the other words,

Rude means offensively impolite or bad-mannered

Distraught means very worried and upset

Poor means lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society

Option B is correct
