Correct Answer: impish


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word naughty is used in the sentence to describe playful, mischievous behaviour, often in a light-hearted or teasing manner. The synonym impish aligns with this meaning, referring to someone who is inclined to engage in playful or mildly mischievous actions without malice.

The meanings of other words:

  • Sinful: This means to involve or characterise a violation of moral principles as morally wrong or wicked.
  • Tractable: This refers to something that is easily managed or controlled; it is docile.
  • Nasty: This describes behaviour or things that are physically or morally objectionable.
Therefore, the right answer is impish.
