Supercilious
The term “supercilious” means behaving or looking as though one is superior to others, often manifesting arrogance, disdain, or condescension.
A supercilious person may dismiss or belittle others, overestimate their own abilities, and project an air of superiority in social or professional situations. This behavior can create tension in relationships because it signals pride or haughtiness rather than respect or humility.
- A) Vociferous: Refers to loud, forceful, or clamorous expression, not arrogance.
- B) Solicitous: Means showing concern or care for others, the opposite of behaving as if superior.
- C) Unscupulous: Describes a lack of ethics or moral principles, unrelated to arrogance or superiority.
Conclusion:
Because supercilious behavior is defined by arrogance and a sense of superiority, D is the correct answer.
