Which word best matches the sense 'knowing; skillful; dexterous'?

• A. Whenever
• B. Eventhough
• C. Cunning
• D. Savvy

Answer: (C)

When a word signals clever skill, you’re looking for something that conveys both intelligence and deft ability. The sense “knowing; skillful; dexterous” points to someone who acts with clever, crafty proficiency. Cunning fits best because it describes that sharp, skillful quality—often with a crafty edge that helps someone achieve a goal through clever means. Savvy is related and means practical knowledge or shrewdness, but it doesn’t emphasize the same level of craftiness or deft, action-ready skill as cunning. The other options don’t connect to knowledge or skill at all—one indicates time, the other a contrast—so they don’t match the sense.
