Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Correct answer: clumsy

"Gauche" means awkward or lacking social grace. "Clumsy" is a good synonym because it conveys awkwardness in movement or manner.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • "Adroit" means skillful or clever; it is essentially the opposite of "gauche."

  • "Feebleminded" is an outdated/offensive term referring to limited intellectual ability and does not mean awkward or socially clumsy.

  • "Impudent" means rude or disrespectful, relating to attitude rather than awkwardness or lack of grace.
