Bumptious

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) Conceited

Bumptious यानी घमंडी और अपने को बड़ा समझने वाला, इसलिए Conceited सबसे करीब है। Uncouth (गँवार), Rude (अशिष्ट) और Shrewd (चतुर) अलग हैं।

Bumptious means self-important and conceited, so conceited is the closest. Uncouth means rough in manner, rude means impolite and shrewd means clever.
