PRUDENT

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the SAME in meaning as: PRUDENT
  1. A. Proud
  2. B. Rigid
  3. C. Wise
  4. D. Hasty
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Wise

'Prudent' means acting with care and good judgement about the future, so 'wise' is the closest. 'Proud' looks similar in sound and is the trap. 'Hasty' is nearly the opposite, since a hasty person acts without thought, while 'rigid' means inflexible.
