Which word means fearless and daring?

• A. Archaic
• B. Assuage
• C. Audacious
• D. Attenuate

Answer: (C)

Describing fearless and daring actions with a single word. Audacious captures that sense of boldness and willingness to take risks, often pushing boundaries and facing uncertainty. It conveys fearlessness in a way that fits the idea of doing something bold or adventurous. The other words don’t fit this sense: archaic means ancient or old-fashioned, not about fearlessness; assuage means to soothe or ease, not describe boldness; attenuate means to weaken or reduce, which also misses the daring aspect. So the best fit for fearless and daring is audacious.
