Question

during a volleyball match, a coach is always solicitous towards the players, making sure they are hydrated and motivated. what does solicitous mean? showing care or concern for someone friendly and easy to talk to a sudden, complete failure to escape or avoid being caught

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "solicitous", we analyze the context: the coach ensures players are hydrated and motivated, which shows care/concern. Let's evaluate each option:

• Option 1: "Showing care or concern for someone" matches the coach's actions (ensuring hydration, motivation).
• Option 2: "Friendly and easy to talk to" refers to sociability, not care for well - being.
• Option 3: "A sudden, complete failure" is irrelevant to the coach's behavior.
• Option 4: "To escape or avoid being caught" is about evasion, not related here.

Answer:

A. Showing care or concern for someone
