Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
He is urbane in his manners.

• A. urban
• B. harsh
• C. civil
• D. sane

Answer 1

The correct option is C civil

Option C: 'Urbane' means 'courteous and refined in manner'.

'Civil' means 'courteous and polite'.

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

Option A: 'Urban' means 'in, relating to, or characteristic of a town or city'.

Option B: 'Harsh' means 'unpleasant or unkind'.

Option D: 'Sane' means 'of sound mind, reasonable or sensible'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
