Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
kendall is well respected among her coworkers for always being _____ and clear in her explanations.
blunt
brusque
direct

Explanation:

The word "direct" means straightforward and clear, which fits well with the context of being respected for clear explanations. "Blunt" often implies being too harsh or rude, and "brusque" means abrupt and discourteous. Both of these have negative connotations that don't match the positive tone of being "well respected."

Answer:

direct
