    Question

    In each of the following questions, a word is given.

    Choose the option in which the word is used correctly in the context. WORD: Discreet
    A The company maintained a discreet approach to ensure its products reached a wider audience. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B He was discreet enough to keep the confidential information private despite repeated pressure. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data was divided into discreet categories to simplify analysis. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The manager gave a discreet set of instructions that were difficult to understand. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The artist used discreet colours to create a vibrant composition. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Discreet means careful, tactful, and maintaining confidentiality. Option B is correct → keeping confidential information private reflects discretion. Now understand why others are wrong: A → “discreet approach” is vague and contextually weak (more suitable: strategic) C → wrong word usage → should be “discrete” (separate/distinct) D → “discreet instructions” incorrect → instructions can be clear/precise, not discreet E → colours cannot be “discreet”; wrong context  Key concept: Discreet = careful/confidential Discrete = separate/distinct
