Question

Fill in the blank choosing the appropriate option:
He is so ___________ that he immediately believed my story of ghosts.

• A. Innocent
• B. Credulous
• C. Vociferous
• D. Credible

Answer 1

The correct option is B Credulous

Option B: 'Credulous' means 'having or showing too great a readiness to believe things'.

It forms a sentence complete in meaning: 'he so readily believes things that he immediately believed my story of ghosts'.

Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Innocent' means 'a pure, naive person'.

Option C: 'Vociferous' means 'loud and forceful'.

Option D: 'Credible' means 'able to be believed, convincing'.

These words are not most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
