1. (d) : Gregarious means someone who is likely to seek or enjoy the company of others. Reclusive
means reserved or someone who avoids people. Therefore, D is the most appropriate one here.

2. (a) : Resigned means to give up formally a job or any other practice. Resigned fits appropriately in
(I). In (II), as we are talking about truth, shocking makes more sense. In (III), we need a term which
means exhausted or drained to complete the sentence meaningfully. Hence, depleted is appropriate.

3. (b) : Call it a day means to stop doing something especially work.
