Which adjective means contented to a fault with oneself or one's actions?

• A. Complacent
• B. Candidness
• C. Peevish
• D. Unseemly

Answer: (A)

Complacent describes someone who is self-satisfied to a fault, to the point that they don’t notice problems or feel the need to improve. The nuance is a negative sense of satisfaction that hinders growth or awareness. Candidness is about honesty and openness, peevish means irritable or fretful, and unseemly means inappropriate or improper. For example, “Her complacent attitude toward studying led to a surprising setback.”
