Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

"Gracious" means courteous, kind, and polite in behavior.

Consider each choice:

  • Graceful — means elegant in movement or appearance; not about manners.

  • Polite — means courteous and well-mannered; this matches the meaning of "Gracious."

  • Good — a broad positive quality; too general to be a direct synonym of "Gracious."

  • Handsome — describes physical attractiveness and is unrelated to courteous behavior.

Therefore, the closest meaning to "Gracious" is Polite.
