Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Fragile
Explanation: "Friable" means "easily crumbled or reduced to powder." "Fragile" means "easily broken or damaged." These meanings are similar, so "Fragile" is the best match.
Wretched — means very unhappy or in a miserable state; not related to being easily crumbled.
Afflicted — means affected by illness or suffering; does not match the meaning of "friable."
Ailing — means unwell or sick; unrelated to the idea of crumbling or fragility of objects.
Therefore, "Fragile" best matches "Friable."
