Answer 1

Hint: There are millions of words in a language and every word has a meaning which signifies what the word denotes. Meaning is intended to communicate something.

Complete answer:
Each word has a specific meaning of its own. Also, same words may mean different things depending upon the context in which it is used. A word has its own meaning. We cannot place a word freely in a sentence. The word has to compliment the meaning of the sentence. Now, to find out which of the given words will fit in the provided sentence, let us look at the context and also the meaning of the given words as options.

Articulate refers to having or showing the ability to speak fluently and coherently. The origin of the word is from Latin.
“An articulate account of their experiences.”

So, now we must go through the meaning of the words given as option to find out which word best expresses the meaning of articulate.

Fluent: It refers to being able to express oneself easily and articulately.

Aggressive: It refers to ready or likely to attack or confront.

Wayward: It refers to difficult to control or predict because of wilful or perverse behaviour.

Confused: It refers to someone who is unable to think clearly.

From the above explanation, we can identify the answer of the given question. The word that best expresses the meaning of articulate is option A i.e. fluent.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’

Note: Whenever you get confused with the meanings of the word, always look through a dictionary. Try to answer the question only when you are clear with the meaning or else it will be difficult for you to find the correct answer.
