Question:

Select the most appropriate word which means the same as the group of words given.

Not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily

Options:

evaluative

reticent

forthright

communicative

Correct Answer:

reticent

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate word which means the same as the group of words "not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily" is reticent.

  • Evaluative means concerned with or involving the making of judgments or evaluations.
  • Reticent means not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily.
  • Forthright means frank, open, and direct in speech or expression.
  • Communicative means able or willing to communicate effectively.

The word reticent is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a person who is not comfortable sharing their thoughts or feelings with others. The other words do not have the same connotation of being a person who is not comfortable sharing their thoughts or feelings with others.
