Which word means 'Supple & graceful'?

• A. Bland
• B. Futile
• C. Sinuous
• D. Chide

Answer: (C)

This question tests finding a word that captures smooth, flexible movement and elegance. Supple and graceful describes something able to bend and flow without stiffness, often with gentle curves. The best fit is sinuous, a term that literally conveys winding, bending, and graceful movement. It’s commonly used for lines, bodies, or paths that curve smoothly and with ease—think of a dancer’s fluid motions or a winding river.

Bland means dull or flavorless, so it doesn’t describe movement or elegance. Futile means pointless or ineffective, unrelated to how something moves. Chide means to scold, which is a behavior or action rather than a physical quality. So sinuous is the word that best matches supple and graceful.
