Which term describes someone who is typical of a man neat and trim in dress, appearance, or bearing?

• A. Dapper
• B. Stupor
• C. Salve
• D. Acclimatization

Answer: (A)

This question tests vocabulary for describing appearance and dress. A word meaning neat and trim in dress, appearance, or bearing is used specifically for someone who looks polished and well put together, especially a man. That term captures the sense of crisp grooming, clean lines of clothing, and a composed, stylish bearing.

The other options refer to unrelated ideas: a stupor is a state of near-unconsciousness or mental dullness, a salve is a medicinal ointment, and acclimatization is the process of adjusting to a new climate or environment. None of these describe appearance or clothing, so the word that best fits the description of a man who is neatly dressed and well groomed is the one that means dapper.
