Question

SUPPLE

• A. Hard
• B. Round
• C. Rigid
• D. Flexible

Hint:

"Supple" is often used for things like leather, bodies, or movements — meaning graceful and flexible.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The word "supple" means easily bendable, adaptable, or flexible. 
Checking options: 
- (a) Hard → opposite of supple. 
- (b) Round → unrelated to the meaning.
- (c) Rigid → opposite of supple. 
- (d) Flexible → correct synonym.
\[ \boxed{\text{Flexible}} \]

Answer 2

Instead of matching meanings directly, apply an antonym-first filter: "supple" describes something that bends easily, so first mark every option that means the opposite (stiff/unbending), then check what remains.

1. Option A: "Hard" describes a stiff, unyielding surface or substance — the direct opposite of something that bends easily.
2. Option B: "Round" describes a shape, which is an entirely unrelated dimension of meaning and has no bearing on bendability.
3. Option C: "Rigid" explicitly means stiff and incapable of bending, again the opposite of "supple."
4. Option D: "Flexible" means capable of bending easily without breaking, which is precisely what "supple" describes.

After eliminating both the opposite-meaning options and the unrelated one, only "Flexible" remains as a true match.

Hence, the correct answer is Flexible.
