Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word to fill in the blank.
FRAGILE
After the death of her husband, she is emotionally in a ______ state.

  • A.healthy
  • B.delicate
  • C.rigid
  • D.firm

Answer: B

The synonym of 'fragile' that fits is 'delicate'. Fragile means easily broken or damaged, and delicate carries the same sense, so an emotionally delicate state is a state of being easily hurt after her husband's death. 'Healthy' means the opposite in this setting, and 'rigid' and 'firm' mean stiff or steady, so they are opposites of fragile, not synonyms.
