Correct Answer:
B. Supple
The term lissome originates from the Old English word for "gentle" or "lithe," used to describe a body or movement that is effortlessly graceful and flexible.
- Supple is the correct synonym because it directly means bendable, limber, and physically agile.
- Slow refers to speed rather than flexibility.
- Blunt relates to sharpness or directness.
- Cruel describes a harsh or malicious disposition.
