GRE Verbal Reasoning Practice Test

Which word means reticent?

Silent, reserved Motionless Satiate Unemotional lacking sensitivity

Correct Answer:

Silent, reserved

Explanation:

Reticent centers on being restrained in speech and not readily revealing thoughts. The best match is “silent, reserved” because it directly conveys someone who speaks little and keeps feelings or opinions to themselves. The other options describe things that aren’t about talking: motionless is about not moving, satiate is about satisfying appetite, and unemotional lacking sensitivity describes emotional posture rather than speech.
