Skinny

Moody

Correct Answer:

Skinny

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. Skinny.

"Slim" and "Skinny" are both adjectives used to describe someone or something that is thin or slender.

"Slim" typically describes someone or something that has a sleek or slender appearance without necessarily implying extreme thinness. It can be used to describe a person who is slender in a healthy or attractive way, or it can describe something that is narrow or slender in shape.

On the other hand, "Skinny" usually implies being extremely thin or lacking in body fat. It often conveys a sense of thinness that may be considered less healthy or less desirable than being "slim."

In essence, both words refer to thinness, but "slim" may have a broader range of meanings, including a healthy or attractive thinness, while "skinny" often conveys a more extreme or unhealthy thinness.
