Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct answer is the third option: Gullible

Gullible is a term that specifically means easily deceived or tricked, making it more appropriate in the context of someone who is easily taken in by others.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Foolish means someone who has a lack of common sense.
  • Sober : It means someone who is clear-minded.
  • Stupid : It is used to refer to someone who lacks intelligence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: A gullible person is someone who is easily taken in and tricked by others.
