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"Feebleminded" is an outdated/offensive term referring to limited intellectual ability and does not mean awkward or socially clumsy.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