Select the most appropriate word to complete the following sentence.
It's quite a _____ subject, so take care how you bring it up.
Options:
customary
deniable
justified
delicate
Correct Answer:
delicate
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option (4) → delicate
Delicate (Adjective) means requiring sensitive or careful handling. This fits the context perfectly, as the speaker advises caution ("take care how you bring it up") because the subject is sensitive or potentially controversial.
Customary means usual or routine (doesn't require care).
Deniable means able to be refused or disputed (not the primary reason for caution in how one introduces it).
Justified means having a good reason for something (unrelated to the care needed in introducing the subject).
