Which term would you use to describe someone who believes everything they are told?

• A. Credulous
• B. Ransom
• C. Pulchritude
• D. Hyperbole

Answer: (A)

The concept here is describing someone who believes everything they are told. Credulous describes someone who is easily convinced, accepts statements at face value without much skepticism. This matches someone who believes everything they’re told. For example, a credulous person might accept every rumor as true without checking facts. Other terms don’t fit: ransom refers to money demanded for release; pulchritude means physical beauty; hyperbole means an exaggeration.
