Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
Teachers like __________ students who never break rules.
a) Mischievous
b) Studious
c) stubborn
d) obedient

Answer 1

Hint: If you know the meaning of the given options, you can easily answer the question. What kind of students do you think a teacher will like? What kind of students do not break rules?

Complete answer:
Option a is obviously the wrong answer because first of all, mischievous students always break rules and teachers do not like mischievous students at all.
Option b partly answers the question as to what kind of students teachers like. Teachers like studious students. However, it does not answer the second part of the question, that is, which students never break rules. When we talk about students who never break rules, the first answer that comes to our mind is not studious. Studious is related to students who study a lot and do not focus on the fact that they do not break rules.
Option c is the wrong answer because stubborn people are not really liked by anybody and being stubborn does not mean that you do not break rules. It is more likely that stubborn people do break rules.
Option d is the correct answer because obedient means someone who listens to everything that is told to them. Obedient comes from the word obey which means listening to instructions. So the word obedient is directly related to the fact of not breaking rules. Teachers also like obedient students because they listen to them.
