Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable adjective.

He knelt at his side and comforted him with _______ words.

• A. Harsh
• B. Silent
• C. Kind
• D. Cruel

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Kind

In this sentence we would understand the use of descriptive adjective or the adjective of quality. The descriptive adjectives can be simply defined as the type of adjectives that are used to express the size, color, or shape of a person, a thing, an animal, or a place. They are used to provide more information to a noun by describing or modifying it. In this sentence, the first part gives us an idea that this person is of good-nature, benevolent, sympathetic, understanding. So, we need to find a word similar to these.

Option A: Harsh is completely opposite of the word that is required.

Option B: Silent means not making or accompanied by any sound which does not match with the required word

Option C: Is matching with what is required. It means sympathetic and comforting. Hence this is the correct answer.

Option D: Is again completely opposite of what we are looking for.
