Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
He is known for his compliant nature.

• A. livid
• B. complaining
• C. adamant
• D. yielding

Answer 1

The correct option is D yielding

Option D: 'Compliant' means 'willing to do what other people want you to do, give in'.

'Yielding' means 'inclined to give in, submissive, compliant'.

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

Option A: 'Livid' means 'furiously angry'.

Option B: 'Complaining' means 'expressing dissatisfaction or annoyance about something'.

Option C: 'Adamant' means 'refusing to change one's mind'.

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

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
