Question

Choose the suitable adjective to fill in the blanks in the sentence. His ________ attitude made it difficult for his friends to trust him.

• A. adjustable
• B. erratic
• C. acceptable
• D. amicable

Hint:

Always perform a context-clue analysis.
Since the outcome (difficulty in trusting) is negative, the causing attitude must be described by a negative adjective like ``erratic''.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the context.
The sentence says his attitude made it difficult for friends to trust him. The blank requires a word that explains why someone is untrustworthy.
Step 2: Evaluate the options.
"Adjustable" (adaptable), "acceptable" (satisfactory), and "amicable" (friendly) are all positive traits that would not cause distrust.
Step 3: Select the correct word.
"Erratic" means unpredictable and inconsistent behavior, which logically makes a person difficult to trust. \[ \boxed{\text{erratic}} \]
