Worked practice questions

He was kind. He was __________ even towards his opponents.

  1. magnificent
  2. magnanimous
  3. foolish
  4. unkind
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. magnanimous

1. "Magnanimous" = generous and forgiving, especially towards rivals. 2. "Magnificent" means splendid (not the same nuance). 3. "Foolish" and "unkind" oppose the first sentence ("He was kind"). 4. Magnanimous fits the kind-even-to-enemies sense. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.151 (Shift 1, Vocabulary)_
