Question

read this line from the play: miss prism, drawing herself up. your guardian enjoys the best of health, and his gravity of demeanour is especially to be commended in one so comparatively young as he is. i know no one who has a higher sense of duty and responsibility. what does demeanour mean in the line? a. behavior b. interests c. beliefs d. outlook

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "demeanour", we analyze the context. The sentence praises the guardian's sense of duty and responsibility, so "demeanour" relates to how he acts. "Behavior" (A) fits as it refers to conduct. "Interests" (B) are about what one likes, "beliefs" (C) are convictions, and "outlook" (D) is a perspective—none match as well as "behavior".

Answer:

A. behavior
