This B2–C1 adjective collection (part 10 of the series) gives you 35 words for describing people and situations with real precision, from a cynical colleague to a resilient decision.

The words range from character traits (candid, insensitive, avid, quirky) to describing situations and objects (staggering, elusive, tangled, battered). Useful if you read serious articles or novels in English and want to talk about people and choices with more nuance.
