Answer 1

Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word. I was skeptical about the story she told me.

Explanation

“Skeptical” means not easily believing something. Doubtful has the same meaning.

If you are sceptical about a story, you doubt that it is true. “Convinced” is the opposite, because it means you believe it fully.
