Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The guests were offended by his uncouth manners.

• A. wasteful
• B. dirty
• C. undesirable
• D. ungracious

Answer 1

The correct option is D ungracious

Option D: 'Uncouth' means 'lacking good manners or grace'.

'Ungracious' means 'not graceful or polite', 'lacking grace'.

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

Option A: 'Wasteful' means 'using or expending something of value carelessly, or to no purpose'.

Option B: 'Dirty' means 'dishonest, dishonourable'.

Option C: 'Undesirable' means 'not wanted or desirable because harmful, objectionable or unpleasant'.

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

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
