Question

Choose the word which can be best described using the below adjective.
Close-set

• A. Face
• B. Hair
• C. Lips
• D. Teeth

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Teeth

The adjective, 'close-set' means 'having little space in between'. This adjective is most suitable to describe 'teeth' and 'eyes'. Hence, option D is correct.

Some adjectives which can be used with 'hair' are: 'luxuriant', 'glossy', 'bouncy', 'untidy' and 'dishevelled'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'lips' are: 'full', 'attractive', 'luscious, 'plump', 'rosy', and 'puckered up'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'teeth' are: 'sharp, 'decayed', 'beautiful', 'crooked', 'protruding' and 'pearly'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'face' are: 'calm', 'eager', 'handsome', 'beautiful', 'eager', 'chiselled' and 'pleasant'. However, the adjective, 'close-set' cannot be used to describe 'face', 'hair' and 'lips'.

Given the above, options A, B and C are incorrect.
