A
Correct answer
Explanation
Reticent means reserved, restrained, or reluctant to speak or draw attention to oneself. Option A 'Reserved' is the correct synonym. Option B 'Emphatic' means forceful or assertive (opposite meaning). Option C 'Backward' means slow or underdeveloped. Option D 'Sad' is an emotion, not related to reticence.
AI explanation
Reticent describes someone who is reserved or reluctant to speak freely, so reserved is the closest synonym. Emphatic, backward, and sad describe different qualities unrelated to being reluctant to share thoughts.
