Question

Choose the word which can be best described using the below adjective.
Thin

• A. Eyes
• B. Lips
• C. Complexion
• D. Teeth

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lips

The adjective, 'thin' means 'having little thickness or depth'. It also means 'having little, or too little, flesh or fat on the body'. Of the given options, the part of the body which can be described by this adjective is, 'lips'. Hence, option B is correct.

The nouns, 'eyes', 'complexion' and 'teeth' can't be described by the adjective, 'thin' as these parts of the body do not have flesh/ volume. Hence, they do not appear to be thin/ thick.

Some adjectives which can be used with 'eyes' are: 'beady', 'gleaming', 'twinkling', 'hollow', 'blood-shot' and 'sallow'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'complexion' are: 'beautiful', 'smooth', 'swarthy', 'fair', 'dark' and 'sallow'. Given the above, options A, C and D are incorrect.
