Question:

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

Incapable of paying debts

Options:

Insolvent

Obsolete

Corrupt

Extravagant

Correct Answer:

Insolvent

Explanation:
 

The word that means the same as the group of words "incapable of paying debts" is insolvent.

  • Insolvent means unable to pay debts as they fall due.
  • Obsolete means no longer in use or no longer relevant.
  • Corrupt means dishonest or fraudulent.
  • Extravagant means spending money or resources in an uneconomical or wasteful way.

The word insolvent is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a person or organization that is unable to pay their debts. The other words do not have the same connotation of being unable to pay debts.
