Which word means something that is credible and possibly true?

• A. Phenomenon
• B. Plausible
• C. Philosophy
• D. Physical

Answer: (B)

When something is plausible, it means it is believable and has a reasonable chance of being true based on the available information. Plausible describes the sense of credibility without claiming certainty, which is exactly what "possibly true" implies.

That’s why it fits best here: you’re looking for a word that signals believability and potential truth, not just an observable event or a field of study. A phenomenon is an observable occurrence, philosophy is a system of ideas, and physical relates to material reality. So plausible captures the nuance of being credible and not ruled out by the facts. For example, “Her hypothesis seems plausible given the data.”
