Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Canny
Explanation: Canny means shrewd, astute, and showing good judgement. This closely matches the meaning of clever (mentally sharp or resourceful), so it is the best choice.
Obstinate: means stubborn or unwilling to change; unrelated to intelligence or shrewdness.
Handsome: refers to good-looking or sizable/attractive amount; not about cleverness.
Stout: describes someone solid, bulky, or stout-hearted; does not convey being clever or shrewd.
Example: A canny negotiator knew when to make concessions and when to hold firm, which showed practical cleverness.
