The key part is “showed no mercy”. That tells you exactly what kind of robber we are talking about. Someone who shows no mercy is cruel, harsh, or violent.
Now let’s look at the options:
A) loquacious – This means talkative, someone who talks a lot. That has nothing to do with being cruel or merciless. It’s completely wrong.
B) senseless – This usually means without sense, f**lish, or meaningless. A robber could be senseless in some ways, but “senseless” doesn’t really capture the idea of being merciless. It’s not the best fit.
C) ruthless – This means having no pity or compassion, being cruel or merciless. This fits perfectly with “showed no mercy.” This is the right answer.
D) benevolent – This means kind, caring, or generous. A benevolent robber? That’s the exact opposite of what the sentence is saying. Totally wrong.
So the correct sentence is: “The ruthless robber showed no mercy during the attack.”
Think about it like this: if someone shows no mercy, they are cold, cruel, and harsh. That’s ruthless. Everything else either doesn’t make sense or is the opposite.
