Question

Choose the word nearest in meaning to the given word. CORPULENT

• A. Pliable
• B. Flourishing
• C. Bulky
• D. Affectionate

Hint:

When choosing synonyms, consider the context in which the word is typically used. For example, "corpulence" refers to physical largeness, so the closest synonym would be "bulky".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The word "corpulence" means "having a large, bulky body" or "fat". Among the options, the word "bulky" best matches the meaning of "corpulence", which refers to being large or overweight. - Pliable refers to being flexible or easily bent, which is not related to "corpulence". - Flourishing means thriving or growing well, which is also unrelated to the idea of "being bulky". - Affectionate refers to showing fondness or love, which is not a suitable synonym for "corpulence". Therefore, the correct answer is option (3).
