A "scrupulous" person is diligent, thorough, and attentive to detail, especially with regard to ethical or moral principles, ensuring they act correctly and responsibly.
Scrupulous individuals are careful in decision-making and avoid wrongdoing, often showing conscientiousness and integrity in their actions.
- A) Greedy and primarily concerned with making money: This is the opposite of scrupulousness, which emphasizes morality and fairness rather than personal gain.
- B) Ordinary and unremarkable in their actions: Being scrupulous involves careful attention and conscientious effort, not mediocrity.
- D) Excessively talkative and verbose in discussions: This refers to garrulous behavior, unrelated to ethics or thoroughness.
Conclusion:
Because a scrupulous person is meticulous and ethical, the correct answer is C.
