Which word describes something that is flexible and winding?

• A. Bland
• B. Sinuous
• C. Behoove
• D. Astute

Answer: (B)

This question tests your ability to pick a word that describes something flexible and winding. Sinuous captures that idea perfectly, as it describes curves and bends—smooth, twisting, and flowing in shape or movement. You can imagine a sinuous river weaving through the valley or a sinuous road curling along the hillside; both convey flexibility in form and a winding path.

The other words don’t fit this sense. Bland means dull or uninteresting, not about shape or movement. Behoove is a verb meaning to be necessary or appropriate for someone, unrelated to how something looks or moves. Astute means sharp or perceptive, describing intellect rather than physical form.
