AnswerClick to flip back
A
skeptical
💡 Explanation:
'Incredulous' describes someone who is unwilling or unable to believe something - skeptical, doubting, disbelieving. Option A (superstitious) refers to belief in supernatural forces, which is different from skepticism. Option B (unreliable) means not dependable, unrelated to disbelief. Option C (unimaginative) means lacking creativity - not about belief. Option D (skeptical) directly captures the meaning of incredulous - questioning or doubting claims. This tests precise vocabulary distinctions.
