Question

Choose the best word: The manager gave a ___ explanation of the new policy.

  1. A. lucid
  2. B. cloudy
  3. C. sleeping
  4. D. angry

Correct answer

Option A: lucid

Lucid means clear and easy to understand. It fits explanation naturally and matches the sentence context.

Why the other options are wrong

  • Cloudy can mean unclear, which is the opposite of the intended positive meaning.
  • Sleeping does not collocate with explanation.
  • Angry describes emotion and does not fit the noun explanation here.

Practice tip

In cloze questions, check both meaning and collocation with the nearby noun or verb.
