From the options lettered A-D, choose the option that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word. My mother is a shrewd shrewd.

  1. gullible ✓
  2. orderly
  3. reliable
  4. resourceful

“Shrewd” means clever and sharp in judging people and situations. The opposite is gullible, which means easily fooled.

“Resourceful” is close in meaning to shrewd, so it cannot be the opposite.
