D. Intriguing, tact

Answer 1

Hint: There are millions of words in English. 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.

Complete answer:
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.

A. Mundane: It refers to lack of interest or excitement. The origin of the word is from the Latin ‘mundus’.
Spontaneity: It refers to the condition of being spontaneous.

B. Fascinating: It refers to something that is extremely interesting.
Recklessness: It refers to lack of regard for the danger or consequences of one’s actions.

C. Tedious: It refers to something that is too long, slow or dull.
Subtlety: It refers to the quality or state of being subtle.

D. Intriguing: It refers to arousing one’s curiosity or interest.
Tact: It refers to a skill and sensitivity in dealing with others or with difficult issues.

E. Monotonous: It refers to something that is dull, tedious and repetitious; something that lacks variety.
Solitude: It refers to the state or situation of being alone.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: You might get confused with the other options as they mean the same as the words in option D. But keep in mind that every word does not go with one another.
