Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
He was reasonable enough to behave according to the circumstances.

• A. peaceful
• B. attentive
• C. sensible
• D. determined

Answer 1

The correct option is C sensible

Option C: 'Reasonable' means 'having sound judgement, fair and sensible'.

'Sensible' means 'based on or acting on good judgement and practical ideas or understanding'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Peaceful' means 'free from disturbance, tranquil'.

Option B: 'Attentive' means 'paying close attention to something'.

Option D: 'Determined' means 'having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'reasonable'.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
