Debonair
A) Superficial
B) Charming
C) Fashionable
D) Flighty

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example: the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
The meaning of debonair is ‘confident, stylish, and charming (typically used of a man) or sophisticated’. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as debonair.

Option A) Superficial - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of superficial is ‘existing or occurring at or on the surface or external or surface’ and this is not the synonym of debonair because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Charming - is the correct answer because the meaning of charming is ‘very pleasant or attractive or delightful or pleasant’ and this is the synonym of the word debonair and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option C) Fashionable - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of fashionable is ‘characteristic of, influenced by, or representing a current popular style or popular’ and this is not the synonym of debonair because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Flighty - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of flighty is ‘fickle and irresponsible or fickle or irresolute’ and this is not the synonym of debonair because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘B’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonyms of debonair is charming. So, the most appropriate answer is Option B because the meaning of both the words are the same and antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of debonair is unsophisticated. Thus, Option B is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
