Taming Of The Shrew Practice Test

Which word means 'friendly'?

Daunt Affable Pine Chide

Correct Answer:

Affable

Explanation:

This item tests your ability to pick a word that conveys a friendly, approachable, easy-to-talk-to quality. Affable describes a person who is friendly and pleasant in conversation, making others feel welcome and at ease. Daunt means to intimidate or discourage, Pine means to long for or yearn, and Chide means to scold or rebuke; none of these capture the sense of sociable warmth the prompt asks for. So affable is the best fit, as it directly conveys the demeanor of someone who is agreeable and easy to approach.
