Question

Choose the adjective that best describes the italicized word.

The student carefully researched his objection and corrected the teacher the next day in class.

A. malicious

B.young

C.inquisitive

D.short-haired

Answer 1

I suppose the italicized word is student, so the answer should be C.inquisitive. Based from the ideas presented in the sentence, the student must be inquisitive by being concerned to the answer of the topic the teacher shared that he had to find the exact details and even explanations as necessary.

Answer 2

Answer:

C) Inquisitive

Explanation:

Hello! The answer to your question would be the word inquisitive. Read the sentence; it is apparent that this student is determined to pursue knowledge and due to his findings (in addition to his devotion to education), can even correct his own instructor.  

Act of elimination also tells you that malicious (a synonym of wicked / evil / horrid intent) would not describe the student.  The word young isn't exactly specific, as the word 'young' could describe a child or a young adult.  Short-haired mainly centers around physical appearance and the sentence does not delve into that at all. So, the best choice would be inquisitive. Hope this helps!
