Option 3: didactic

Option 4: plausible

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

**Clue:** Meera UNDERSTOOD a complex ethical problem and answered. We need a word for a sensible, believable answer. **Answer: Option 4 - plausible** (reasonable, believable). | Option | Meaning | Verdict | |---|---|---| | Hirsute | hairy | nonsense here | | Obsequious | excessively obedient/flattering | wrong trait | | Didactic | preachy, instructive | a STUDENT wouldn't lecture the teacher | | Plausible | believable, reasonable | CORRECT | **Trap:** 'Didactic' tempts those who think it just means 'thoughtful'. It actually means 'in the manner of a teacher' - inappropriate for a student replying to a professor.
