Answer 1

Hint: Dainty is an adjective that means something very delicate and sensitive.

Complete step-by-step answer:

From the hint given to us, we know that dainty is an adjective which means something very delicate and sensitive. The opposite of dainty must mean something that is not delicate and insensitive. Thus, in order to find the correct opposite of dainty, we shall match the description of the opposite word with the meaning of the given word in the option.
Coarse means something very rough, insensitive and not delicate. We observe that it matches with the description of the opposite word for dainty, which we had inferred. Hence, option A is possibly a correct answer.
Graceful means something very sophisticated and elegant. We observe that it does not match with the description of the opposite word for dainty, which we had inferred. Hence, option B is not the correct answer.
Delectable means something very delicious and good to taste. We observe that it does not match the description of the opposite word for dainty, which we had inferred. Hence, option C is not the correct answer.
Obedient means someone who follows the given instructions or commands. We observe that it does not match the description of the opposite word for dainty. Hence, option D is not the correct answer.
After observing all the given options and analyzing them, we can conclude that option A is the correct answer.

Note: It Is to be noted that coarse also means something very prickly and scratchy. However, we shall not be taking that meaning into the context as it is not relevant here.
