Question

We could talk about anything for hours. However, the moment I brought up dating, he was extremely reticent about his personal life.

He remained indifferent toward others.

He was usually a very quiet person.

He was an unsympathetic person.

He had nothing interesting to say.

He wouldn't readily reveal his feelings.

Answer 1

To be reticent means not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily. Therefore, the sentence that best matches the context of the word, "reticent" as it is used in the statement above is the fifth option, "He wouldn't readily reveal his feelings".
