Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word to fill in the blank.
GULLIBLE
In every tourist place, the shopkeepers sell overpriced souvenirs to ______ the tourists.

  • A.naive
  • B.perceptive
  • C.sensitive
  • D.knowledgeable

Answer: A

The synonym of 'gullible' is 'naive'. A gullible person is easily deceived or too ready to believe, and a naive person is trusting and inexperienced, so shopkeepers can sell overpriced souvenirs to naive tourists. 'Perceptive' and 'knowledgeable' describe people who notice things or know much, so they are opposites of gullible, and 'sensitive' means easily affected by feelings, not easily deceived.
