Question

"I don't think you can depend on Srikanth to do that job by himself. He's too green."

• A. Childish
• B. Envious
• C. Indecisive
• D. Inexperienced

Hint:

Unripe fruit is called green; the same word is used for people new to a task.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question checks the meaning of the word "green" when it is used to describe a person rather than a color. In this sense, "green" refers to someone who is new to a job or task and has not yet built the skill to handle it alone.

1. Childish: This means behaving in an immature way. The sentence is about Srikanth's ability to handle a job, not about his behavior, so this option does not fit.
2. Envious: This means feeling jealous of someone else. Nothing in the sentence talks about jealousy, so this is off track.
3. Indecisive: This means unable to make decisions. The sentence is about doing a job alone, not about decision making, so this is not the best match.
4. Inexperienced: A person who is new to a task, like unripe or "green" fruit that has not yet matured, cannot be trusted to handle it alone. This matches the sentence directly, since the speaker doubts Srikanth can manage the job "by himself".

The correct option is "Inexperienced", because the doubt about Srikanth handling the job alone points to a lack of experience, not to behavior, jealousy, or indecision.

Let's summarize:

• "Green" used for a person means inexperienced, much like unripe fruit is called green before it matures.
• The other options describe behavior, jealousy, or indecision, which the sentence never mentions.

So the option that best expresses the meaning of "green" in this sentence is "Inexperienced".
