Correct Answer: fragile


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Delicate refers to something that is easily broken, fragile, or requires careful handling, and fragile means delicate, easily damaged, or vulnerable to breaking, making it the closest synonym among the options provided.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Crude: It refers to something that is in a natural or raw state, lacking refinement or processing.
  • Durable: It describes something that is strong, sturdy, and able to withstand wear, pressure, or damage over a long period of time.
  • Coarse: It refers to something rough or having a rough texture. It can also describe behaviour or language that lacks refinement or sensitivity.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: All the fragile things were kept or packed in a different box while shifting to a new place.
