Question

The accused had a _____ plan of a cold-blooded, cruel murder.

• A. Diabolical
• B. Interested
• C. Cruel
• D. Fair

Hint:

When encountering descriptive passages, focus on understanding the connotations of words to capture the intended meaning accurately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The term "diabolical" refers to something that is devilishly evil, wicked, and malicious. In the context of the passage, the accused's plan of murder was described as being cold-blooded and cruel, thus the term "diabolical" fits perfectly. "Interested," "Cruel," and "Fair" do not convey the intensity and evil nature of the plan as well as "diabolical."
