Answer 1

Hint: With questions related to vocabulary, read the sentence to understand what kind of meaning they are asking for. In the given sentence, they are looking for a word that describes a person who believes things easily since it says “he immediately believed my story…”.

Complete answer:
In option a, “innocent” means to be free of guilt, guile, blameless, etc. For example, They accused the person for theft and later found out he was innocent. A baby is an innocent creature.
In option b, “credulous” refers to a person who believes anything with very little or no evidence. People easy to be convinced are credulous people. Rahul is credulous enough to believe the rumor so make sure he does not hear them.
In option c, “vociferous” means to be very vocal about something. Loud people are usually vociferous. If there is someone in your class who always has to put his opinion forward, he is vociferous.
In option d, “credible” means to be believable. For example, she offered the police some credible evidence which made the investigation very easy.
Thus, from the explanation of the options, we can see that option b is the correct answer. The given sentence therefore will be that the person is very credulous to believe the story about ghosts.

 For increasing vocabulary, it is advised to read a lot of books, articles, and journals. If the word is unknown to you, try to find out hints from the questions which will help to figure out the meaning.
