Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the meaning of the italicized part of the sentence.
I tried to persuade him to change his mind, but he remained adamant.

• A. foolish
• B. aggressive
• C. stubborn
• D. defensive

Answer 1

The correct option is C stubborn

The highlighted word means 'not ready to listen to request or reason'.

Option C is correct. 'Stubborn' also means 'not ready to listen to request or reason'. Thus, it has the correct meaning and is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Aggressive' means 'eager to fight' and 'defensive' means 'intended for protection'.
