Question:CENSORIOUS:

Choices:
A. uncritical
B. ethical
C. tranquil
D. upstanding
E. abundant



Censorious is not a very common word, but if you look at it, you may see something familiar in it. There's the word "censor," which means one who condemns or censures. In other words, a censor is critical of things (works of literature or art, usually) that are seen as inappropriate. Therefore, censorious means critical. Look for the opposite of critical, or uncritical. Choice (A) fits our prediction.
