Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: Stubborn

Definition: Determined to do as one pleases and not to follow others' wishes.

  • Why this is correct: Headstrong describes a person who insists on their own way and resists being persuaded.

  • Why “Doesn’t listen” is not the best: It captures part of the behavior but is less precise than “stubborn,” which conveys firm, willful determination.

  • Why “Willing” is wrong: It means being ready or agreeable, which is the opposite of headstrong.

  • Why “To disbelieve” is wrong: It is unrelated to stubbornness or insistence and refers to lack of belief.
