Q1Which of the following words in the passage means 'very desirable'?
Explanation
Enviable means so good or attractive that others would wish to have the same thing; it is closest to 'very desirable'. Inspired means filled with a creative or motivating influence, so it does not carry the sense of being desired by others. Adorable means lovable or charming, which is positive but not the same as highly desirable. Cleanse is a verb meaning to clean or purify, so it is unrelated to the meaning asked in the question.
