Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Lenient is the odd word out.
Adamant, Stubborn, and Tenacious all mean firm, determined, or unwilling to change; they are synonyms.
Lenient means permissive, tolerant, or not strict — a different (almost opposite) meaning to the other three.
Therefore, Lenient is the odd word out because its meaning differs from the meanings of the other words.
