Read the following sentence and choose the best definition for the underlined word by searching for context clues in the sentence.
Mr. Powers was so gullible that he believed even the most outlandish excuses of his insincere employees.

Solution

The word 'gullible' refers to someone who can be easily persuaded to believe something. It is not the same as dishonest. It is also not someone whom one would suppose to be intelligent. The word 'critical' is also not suited here. The best choice is 'naive', which refers to someone who shows a lack of wisdom or a lack of judgment. The correct answer, therefore, is option B.
