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

Amagnificent
Bmagnanimous
Cfoolish
Dunkind
Answer & 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)_
