Correct Answer: Hesitant


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Reluctant means being unwilling or hesitant to do something. When someone is reluctant, they might be resistant or unwilling due to various reasons. The word hesitant describes a state of uncertainty or indecision before taking action.

Both words convey a sense of not being fully committed or enthusiastic about a course of action.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Definite : This term refers to something that is clear, certain, or free from doubt.
  • Indiscreet : This word describes a lack of good judgement or carefulness, often resulting in saying or doing something that is imprudent or tactless.
  • Confident : This word represents a feeling of self-assurance, trust, or certainty in one's abilities, decisions, or beliefs.

Therefore, the most appropriate synonym is hesitant .
