Which word means 'clear; easy to understand'?

• A. Benevolent
• B. Lucid
• C. Demure
• D. Acute

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying a word that describes something as clear and easy to understand. The best fit is lucid. Lucid describes explanations, writing, or thoughts that are bright, straightforward, and easy to follow. It conveys that the material sheds light on a concept rather than leaving you confused. For example, a lucid explanation makes a complex idea feel simple and accessible.

Benevolent describes someone who is kind or charitable, which isn’t about clarity. Demure means modest or reserved in manner, not clarity of expression. Acute has several senses—keen or sharp, sometimes referring to intelligence—but it doesn’t specifically mean easy to understand or clear in communication.
