Which word best describes someone who is overly eager in support?

• A. Chastise
• B. Parochial
• C. Zealous
• D. Sinuous

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is describing a person with very strong, active enthusiasm in supporting something. Zealous captures that idea perfectly. It describes someone who is not just supportive but moved by intense passion and energy for a cause, often to a noticeable degree. That sense of fervent dedication is exactly what “overly eager in support” conveys.

Chastise means to scold or punish, which is about criticizing behavior, not about supporting something. Parochial describes a narrow, limited view or outlook, not the level of enthusiasm. Sinuous refers to winding or twisting, sometimes used for movement or deception, and doesn’t connect to enthusiasm or support either.
