Correct Answer: candour


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Candour means the quality of being open and honest in expression; frankness. This is the correct option, as it aligns with the context of appreciating the neighbour's quality of openness and honesty in explaining the reason for selling her house.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Candid: Truthful and straightforward.

  • Care: The provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something.

  • Capacity: The ability or power to do, experience, or understand something.

Therefore, the sentence is: "I appreciate my neighbour's candour as she explained the reason for selling her house."
