This questions was previously asked in
SSC MTS 2nd Nov 2021 Shift-1
Explanation:
- The sentence is: "The new recruit was ______ to impress his superiors."
- Option 1: sincere
- "Sincere" means genuine or honest. It describes a person's character, not usually their drive or motivation.
- Option 2: cordial
- "Cordial" means friendly or warm. This does not fit with the act of wanting to impress someone.
- Option 3: eager
- "Eager" means enthusiastic or keen to do something. It perfectly fits the context—the recruit is keen to impress.
- Option 4: intend
- "Intend" is a verb, not an adjective, so it does not fit grammatically in the blank.
The most appropriate word is Option 3: eager.
