Correct Answer:
B. Delicate
This question asks for a synonym of the word “Fragile.” A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language. The word “fragile” describes something that is easily broken or damaged.
- Correct Answer (B: Delicate): “Delicate” means easily broken or damaged, or requiring careful handling. This definition perfectly aligns with “fragile,” making it the correct synonym. For example, a delicate vase is also a fragile vase.
- Incorrect Distractors:
- (A: strong): This is an antonym of “fragile.” “Strong” means able to withstand force or pressure, the opposite of being easily broken.
- (C: Agility): “Agility” refers to the ability to move quickly and easily. It describes a physical attribute of movement, not the structural integrity or vulnerability of an object.
- (D: Angry): “Angry” describes a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility. This emotion is entirely unrelated to the physical characteristic of being fragile.
