Question

Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the meaning of the italicized part of the sentence.
Foolhardiness is the result of constant strains.

• A. Obstinacy
• B. Sickness
• C. Foolishness
• D. Exhaustion

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The highlighted word means 'recklessness'.

Option D is correct. 'Foolishness', in this case, is close in meaning to 'recklessness'. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Exhaustion' means 'Condition of being tired', 'Obstinacy' means 'stubbornness' and 'Sickness' means 'condition of being ill'.
