Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
I found his crude manners abominable.

• A. flattering
• B. sloppy
• C. detestable
• D. attractive

Answer 1

The correct option is C detestable

Option C: 'Abominable' means 'very bad, terrible'.

'Detestable' refers to 'things or people that you hate very much'.

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

Option A: 'Flattering' means 'full of praise and compliments'.

Option B: 'Sloppy' means 'careless and unsystematic, excessively casual'.

Option D: 'Attractive' means 'pleasing and appealing to the senses'.

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

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
