Solution

The correct option is A Smooth

The word “glib” means “(of words or a speaker) fluent but insincere and shallow.” For example: "the glib phrases soon roll off the tongue"

Option A: “Smooth” means “with an even consistency" This is closest to the meaning of "glib". Hence, this is the correct option.

Option B: “Indifferent” means having no particular interest or sympathy; unconcerned” This is a completely different meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “Gainful” means “serving to increase wealth or resources” This is a completely different meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “Rough” means having an uneven or irregular surface; not smooth or level” This is a completely different meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.
