Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the meaning of the italicized part of the sentence.
He is very discreet while deciding such matters.

• A. obstinated
• B. cunning
• C. prudent
• D. trustworthy

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

prudent

The highlighted word, in this context, means 'in a careful and sensible manner'.

Option C is correct. 'Prudent' has the same meaning as the required one. Thus, it is the correct answer.

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

''Obstinated' means 'acted in a stubborn manner' and 'cunning' means 'skilled in deception'.
