Correct Answer: incredible; credulous
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
In this option, incredible means something unbelievable or astonishing, and credulous refers to a person who is too willing to believe in things, even if they are not credible or true. So, the sentence conveys that the story is unbelievable, and the speaker is not easily convinced.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Incredulous; credible : "Incredulous" means being skeptical or unwilling to believe, and "credible" means something trustworthy or believable. This option suggests that the story is difficult to believe and that the speaker is not quick to accept it.
- Increditable; believable : "Increditable" is not a standard word in English. "Believable" means something that can be believed. This option doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence.
- Unbelievable; creditable : "unbelievable" means something that cannot be believed, and "creditable" means deserving credit or trust. This option implies that the story is unbelievable, and the speaker is hesitant to trust it.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "What an incredible story! I am not credulous enough yet to believe it."
