As used in the text, what does the word "audacious" most nearly mean?

A

timid

B

daring

C

cheap

D

simple

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. The passage praises combining "bold design choices" with practicality. "Daring" means willing to take risks, fitting this bold creativity.

Choice A is incorrect because "timid" contradicts bold. Choice C is incorrect because "cheap" refers to cost, not creativity. Choice D is incorrect because "simple" contradicts bold design.
