Question

1. choose the best answer.

reliable means ______.
○ perfect
○ never wrong
○ beneficial
○ trustworthy

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "reliable", we analyze each option:

• "Perfect" implies flawlessness, which is a stronger term than "reliable".
• "Never wrong" is an extreme and inaccurate description of "reliable" as reliability doesn't mean infallibility.
• "Beneficial" refers to something that is advantageous, which is not related to the meaning of "reliable".
• "Trustworthy" means able to be trusted or dependable, which aligns with the definition of "reliable" (consistently good in quality or performance; able to be trusted).

Answer:

D. trustworthy
