Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
She was ______ when she pointed out the discrimination against women to her manager.

Correct option is D

The correct option to fill in the blank is (d) candid.
Explanation: “ Candid” means being honest and straightforward, which suits the context of openly pointing out discrimination.
Example: She was candid in her feedback about the biased hiring practices.
Explain why other options are incorrect:
· (a) inhibited: Shy or restrained (संकोची) – doesn’t match the action of pointing out boldly.
· (b) laconic: Using few words (संक्षिप्त) – doesn’t imply openness.
· (c) reticent: Reserved or reluctant to speak (कम बोलने वाला) – opposite of the required meaning.
