Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word-
Handle with care, it is ______.
(a)Agile
(b) Volatile
(c)Ductile
(d)Fragile

Answer 1

Hint: The given phrase is 'handle with care, it is-'. It is very clear and obvious that the word to be filled in has to be related to something that can break easily, or is very delicate.

Complete answer: The most appropriate word for the above phrase is 'fragile'. Fragile (for an object) is something which is easily damaged or broken. For eg. You can’t protect someone so fragile from what’s coming.
We will look at each option carefully and try to find out the meaning and figure out the answer through it:
Option ‘a’ agile means able to move quickly and easily. For eg. She was unafraid and sure-footed, agile, and well-disciplined.
Option ‘b’ volatile means ( of a substance) easily evaporated at normal temperature. For eg. On the other hand, putting up with his volatile moods wouldn’t be exactly easy.
Option 'c' ductile means ( of a metal) able to be withdrawn out into a thin wire. For eg., Sudden cooling makes the metal extremely ductile, and slow cooling makes it brittle.
Option ‘d’ fragile means ( of an object) easily broken or damaged. For eg. She has entrusted him with the fragile framework of her dreams and he stumbled.
As we have analysed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct word to be filled in is - fragile. The complete sentence would be - Handle with care, it is fragile. Hence, the option 'd' is the correct option.

Note: In such types of questions, you must see what the initial part of the given sentence is trying to convey. With that, you'll make out the answer easily, or at least it would get easier for you to recognize the answer from the given options.
