Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The phrase describes someone who pushes their own opinion loudly and carelessly, ignoring how others feel.
- Lissome: This means slim and moving gracefully, a description of physical movement, not of behaviour towards others. Wrong.
- Gullible: This describes someone who is easily fooled or tricked, which is about being deceived, not about being loud or self assertive. Wrong.
- Desolate: This means empty, bare or deserted, describing a place or a feeling of loneliness, not a person's manner of speaking. Wrong.
- Bumptious: This describes a person who is annoyingly self assertive, pushing their own views forward loudly and without care for other people's feelings, matching the phrase closely. Correct.
Bumptious is the only word describing loud, self assertive behaviour, so option Bumptious is correct.
