Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
A reliable friend is the gift of God.

• A. helpful
• B. dependable
• C. honest
• D. true

Answer 1

The correct option is B dependable

Option B: 'Reliable' means 'able to be trusted'.

'Dependable' means 'deserving of trust or confidence'.

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

Option A: 'Helpful' means 'giving or ready to give help'.

Option C: 'Honest' means 'free of deceit, truthful and sincere'.

Option D: 'True' means 'in accordance with fact or reality'.

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

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
