    Each sentence given below has a blank. Choose the most

    appropriate word from the four options that best fits the context.  The diplomat’s response was deliberately ______, carefully avoiding any direct commitment while still appearing cooperative in the negotiations.
    A unequivocal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ambiguous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C assertive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D explicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence suggests: avoiding direct commitment yet appearing cooperative This requires a word meaning unclear or open to interpretation. Ambiguous means unclear, having multiple interpretations → perfect fit. Unequivocal means clear and definite → opposite. Assertive means confident and direct → does not match avoidance. Explicit means clearly stated → again opposite. The diplomat intentionally avoids clarity → “ambiguous” is correct.
