Question 3 • English Language Arts 12

Read the paragraph. One of the spy’s greatest advantages was to appear completely innocuous in public. Today, she sat in the hotel lobby, the perfect picture of an ordinary, tired traveler, and she blended seamlessly into the crowd around her. But her harmless appearance in the lobby was all an act. Which word is a synonym for innocuous ?

Answer
A
tired
B
harmless
C
perfect
D
advantages

Explanation

Innocuous means harmless or not likely to cause harm. The paragraph contrasts the spy’s harmless appearance with her actual role, so “harmless” is the synonym. “Tired” and “perfect” describe other details, while “advantages” means benefits.
