Choose the word that is closest in meaning to CORPULENT.

BGaunt

DObese

Answer & Solution

Correct answer: D. Obese

Corpulent means having a large, bulky body — i.e. obese. The distractors A, B and C all mean the *opposite* (thin, wasted) so they fail the synonym test even though they're all related to body description.
