"Suzanne recounted her improbable tale with enthusiasm and in a convincing manner."
Correct answer: B. Improbable
- A. Recounted
- B. Improbable
- C. With
- D. In a convincing manner
Explanation
"Improbable" may imply that the tale is not believable, which can conflict with the statement that it was told in a convincing manner. If the intent is to express skepticism about the tale, "improbable" is correct; however, if the tale is simply remarkable or extraordinary, a different adjective might be more suitable.
