Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s). No wonder Sikemi later became a detective she has been very observant?

Answer Details
The option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word "observant" is "perceptive". This means that Sikemi is very attentive and notices things easily, which would make her a good detective. "Curious" means having an eager desire to know something, "inductive" means reasoning from specific cases to general principles, and "inquisitive" means showing curiosity or interest in learning new things. However, neither of these options accurately captures the meaning of "observant" in this context.
