Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Persons with abstemious habits can adjust themselves in any social set up.

• A. rustic
• B. lavish
• C. moderate
• D. lucrative

Answer 1

The correct option is C moderate

Option D: 'Abstemious' means 'indulging only very moderately in something, especially food and drink'.

'Moderate' means 'average in amount, intensity, quality or degree'.

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

Option A: 'Rustic' means 'relating to the countryside, rural'.

Option B: 'Lavish' means 'rich, elaborate or luxurious'.

Option C: 'Lucrative' means 'producing a great deal of profit'.

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

So, options A, B and C are wrong.
